3.2. The Script Editor

DataHub^® Scripting : Version 7.2
	Chapter 3. Getting Started

The DataHub comes with a built-in Script Editor^[8]. You can open the Script Editor from the Scripting option of the Properties window of the DataHub. Select a filename, press the Edit button, and the Script Editor will open:

The Script Editor offers basic script editing features such as context-sensitive highlighting, prompted fill-ins for functions and variable names, automatic indenting, text string searches, and so on. In addition to the normal menu and toolbar options, it has a Script menu that provides the following options:

Evaluate Section sends whatever block of text you have selected to the Gamma interpreter for immediate processing.
Reload Whole File sends the entire file to the Gamma interpreter for immediate processing, without you having to save the file first. This functionality is also activated by pressing the blue arrow icon on the toolbar.
Check Syntax checks the syntax of the whole file without running the script. Any errors will be displayed in the Script Log.
Open Script Log opens the Script Log.

The Script Editor toolbar has a blue arrow icon in addition to three standard icons for creating, opening, and saving files. Clicking the blue arrow saves the script as written and runs it.

^[8]This editor is based on the Scintilla and SciTE editor.
