New to this version since Release. 2.92
QCom:
Added to the QCom configuration file:
1. Script subdirectory path is provide to allow the storage
of script files separate from the QCom directory.
2. Character and line pacing delays have been added to the CFG
file.
3. Toggle for Phone directory sorting was added. With sorting
turned off, Adding will insert the new entry above the
current cursor position.
4. Scroll-back buffer lines are optional up to a maximum of
500 lines. Zero lines will disable the feature.
5. Version number added to simplify CFG version error
checking by QCom.
New Script commands have been added:
ANY: An improvement to this command allows up to 10 strings to
be defined in a single script.
DOS: Allows you to shell to Dos and execute batch files or
whatever. Use the /WAIT switch after the commandline if
you wish to pause the display before returning to QCom.
eg:
;DOS vampire.bat /WAIT
Labels:
Like labels in batch files, a label is preceded by a colon and can
consist of one or more words or numbers. No semi colon is used as
in other script lines.
eg:
:Label 1
:Label 2
ASK: Used to get user input from the keyboard. This will display
your "User Prompt" in a box and wait for user input. When the user
presses Enter, QCom will compare the user's input to the text
in "Answer". If it is the same then the script will go to
the "Label". Otherwise the script will continue with the next line.
Use commas to separate the prompt, answer and label.
Usage: ;ASK User Prompt ,Answer,Label
eg:
;ASK Download your mail? (Y/N) ,Y,DownLoad Mail
;GOTO No Download
:DownLoad Mail
;...
GOTO: To branch to another part of the script.
eg:
;GOTO Label 1
or...
When this text is received;GOTO Label 2
CALL: To go to another part of the script and execute until the RET
(Return) command is encountered. It returns to the line follow-
the Call. Calls can be nested 255 levels.
eg:
When this text is received;CALL Label 3
or...
;Call Label 3
;END
:Label 3
Look for this text;send something^M
;RET
RET: As above, used to return from a CALL. A RET must not be executed
unless a CALL has been executed first. RET cannot be used with GOTO.
Usage: ;RET
T/O: Timeout for incoming text. A given timeout value will apply to
any script line waiting for incoming text which follows the T/O
command.
Enable timeout : ;T/O Seconds
Disable timeout: ;T/O 0
Example:
;T/O 10
Wait for text for 10 seconds;Send if received before 10 secs pass
Otherwise wait for this for 10 seconds;...etc.
Disable timeout
;T/O 0
END: Used to stop script execution.
eg:
;END
or...
When this text is received;END
