Get(ScriptParameter)
Format
Get(ScriptParameter)
Parameter
None
Data type returned
text
Description
When this function is part of a calculation evaluated within a script, returns the script
parameter passed into the script.
Note See FileMaker Pro Help for information about running scripts in client/server and
peer-to-peer environments.
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 )
