Editing Scripts - Symantec WISESCRIPT EDITOR 7.0 SP2 - FOR NS V1.0 Manual

Editing Scripts

WiseScript Editor Reference
Click in the script and double-click the action in the Actions list to place the new
action above the line you clicked.
Click in the script and start typing the first few letters of the action name. As you
type, the current line becomes a drop-down list with all the action names, and the
action that most closely matches the letters you typed is the current item in the list.
When the action you want is the current item in the list, press Enter.
When you add an action, a dialog box appears that lets you set the parameters for the
action unless it does not require parameters. When you add a Custom Dialog or Custom
Billboard action, the appropriate editing environment opens.
Some actions come in pairs. (Example: When you add an If action, you must also add an
End action at the end of the condition block.) Script Editor indents actions inside these
pairs.
Use the same methods to add an action to a VBScript.
See VBScript Actions on page 64.

To edit a WiseScript in Script Editor, use the commands on the Edit menu, the
commands on the right-click menu, or the tools on the toolbar. You can edit only one
script line at a time, but you can cut, copy, or paste several lines at one time.
To edit an include script, select it by clicking its tab. Changes that you make to an
include script are saved when you save the project.
To edit a VBScript, see Editing a VBScript
Editing Script Action Parameters
Double-click the action in the script. For most script actions, a dialog box appears so you
can configure its parameters. When you double-click a Custom Billboard or Custom
Dialog action, the appropriate editing environment opens.
Copying and Pasting Script Lines
1. Select one or more script lines.
2. Select Edit menu > Cut or Copy.
3. If you're copying the lines to another installation, open that installation script in
Script Editor.
You cannot open multiple scripts in the same instance of WiseScript Editor unless it
is an include script or VBScript. However, you can open multiple instances of
WiseScript Editor, and open different scripts in each.
