Writing and Executing a Script

Procedure

  1. Select File > New.
  2. Click Create Script.
  3. In the Script Editor, type your script or copy and paste it from an external text editor.
  4. To run the script, select the Edit tab, and click Execute Script.
    Note

    Only one script can be executed at a time.

Result

The script runs if there are no syntax errors. Any errors appear in a dialog box to help you debug them.

Note

There are several free utility text editors that are context sensitive. This means that they can color and highlight parts of your code to make it more readable. If you use one of these for writing and editing your scripts, choose JavaScript as the editing language and/or save the file with a .js (JavaScript) extension.
