Retrieve a user script
There are several ways to retrieve the source code of a user script:
•
One line at a time: Use
scriptVar
.list()
to retrieve the source code one line at a time
•
Entire script: Use the
print(
scriptVar
.source)
command to retrieve the script source code
as a single string
•
Use TSB Embedded
See Create and load a script (on page 6-3) for information about recreating the script and loading it
back into the instrument.
To get a list of scripts that are in nonvolatile memory, use the
script.user.catalog() (on page 7-163)
function.
Retrieve source code one line at a time
To retrieve the source code one line at a time, send the
scriptVar
.list()
command. When this
command is received, the instrument sends the entire script. Each line of the script is sent as a
separate response message. The output includes the
loadscript
or
loadandrunscript
and
endscript
keywords.
After retrieving the source code, you can modify and save the command lines as a user script under
the same name or a new name.
To retrieve the source code of a script one line at a time, send the command:
scriptVar
.list()
Where
scriptVar
is the name of the script.
To retrieve the commands in the anonymous script, use
script.anonymous.list()
.
Example: Retrieve source code one line at a time
test.list() Retrieve the source of a script named "
test
".
The output will look similar to:
loadscript test
display.clear()
display.settext("This is a test")
print("This is a test")
endscript
