Scripting reference...

[kiwichris]

Hurro folks,

Anyone got a link to, or a source of a VBscript reference/tutorial?

Not for the NCPlot specific stuff, but in general, for maths functions, array handling etc.

Having just written a (very) simple post processor script, I've got a cunning plan to create some tools using VBscript.. (I'll tell all, if they work!!!)

Cheers, Me.

The Microsoft website has a complete language reference:

Thanks for that Scott, I must be having a google challenged day, as I didn't find a complete one.

I'm playing around with the idea of writing a complex post processor for a project, although I'm not sure VBscript will have the grunt, as I'll need to have significant in-memory arrays to store each 'chain'. If it dosn't work I'll go back to C where I really should be doing it anyway!

I have used the attached script a couple of times 'for real' though, for facing fixtures...

Cheers, Me.

Chris,

That's a great example of what you can do with a script!

I'd love to see more!

Thanks...

I'm just getting my head around the limitations in VBscript to see what I can realistically do with it.

I have a couple of ideas for things I was going to do in 'C' but I'd have to write an edit and backplot screen to make it useful, this way I can do just the gcode generation, and NCPlot does the edit/backplot part. It also keeps me off the streets!

Cheers, Me.
