perform common editing function, such as search and replace, and feature syntax highlighting
and formatting.
You can use the Script Editor to edit scripts written in VBScript, JavaScript, Perl and Python
(note that the corresponding interpreter must be locally available). You can use the XSLT Editor
to edit scripts written in XSLT 1.0 and 2.0.
For information on how to use both editors, or for a complete description of the Script or XSLT
Editor user options, refer to the Reference Help (English only).
Use the Editor
The Script Editor and XSLT Editor share most of the same commands and functions. You can
open the Script Editor using the Open Editor button both from the Run Script Properties
dialog box and from the Open XSLT Properties dialog box. When you do so, the script
currently displayed in the dialog box is pasted to the editor’s scripting box.
For information on the available editor options, refer to "Editor Options" on page769.
Import and Export Scripts
Both the Script Editor and XSLT Editor let you import and export scripts.
Note
When you import a script, it replaces any script currently displayed in the editor.
To import a script:
1.
In the editor, choose File | Import. The Open dialog box appears.
2. To import a script that uses a different scripting language or that was saved under a
different file format, make a selection in the Files of type drop-down list.
3. Navigate to the script you want to import and select it.
4.
Click OK. The script is imported, displayed and formatted according to the syntax of the
language selected in the editor. If the imported file had the extension of a recognized
scripting language (.vbs or .js, for example), the editor language is automatically changed.
