FILEMAKER FUNCTIONS REFERENCE 135
Examples
Returns Print when “Print” was the value of the parameter passed into the current script.
The following example shows how to pass named parameters using the Evaluate, Let, and
Get(ScriptParameter) functions, allowing access only to variable “a” (the example returns 6):
ScriptParameter = "a = 5; b = 10"
Evaluate("Let ( [" & Get(ScriptParameter) & "]; a + 1 )" )
The following example shows how to pass named parameters, allowing access to both variable “a”
and
“b”. The simplified first parameter makes the second parameter more complex (the example
returns 6, 12):
ScriptParameter = "a = 5; b = 10"
Evaluate("Let ( [" & Get(ScriptParameter) & "]; a + 1 & \", \" & b + 2 )" )
The following example shows how to pass named parameters, while keeping the ability to check the
syntax of the second parameter of the
Let function (the example returns 6, 12):
ScriptParameter = "a = 5; b = 10"
Let( [a = Evaluate("Let( [" & Get(ScriptParameter) & "]; a )"),b =
Evaluate("Let( [" & Get(ScriptParameter) & "]; b )")]; a + 1 & ", " & b +
2 )
