In conditionals, loops, and Set Variable commands, you can use the following operators:
symbols, functions, or logical operators.
Operators can operate on a variable or a constant. There are two types of constants:
numeric and string. Numeric constants must be a positive or negative integer (example:
234 or -100). Strings must be enclosed in quotation marks (" ").
If you enter a variable name instead of a number or string in any of the functions below,
do not enter the % characters around the variable name. Variables must follow standard
naming conventions.
See Variables and Expressions
For details on scripts that demonstrate using expression operators, see the sample
scripts that manipulate strings and perform calculations. For details on sample scripts,
see ScriptHelp.htm in the Samples subdirectory of this product's installation directory.
