HFSS15: Script Method Argument

Script method calls in VBscript are described later in this document, they generally take the form:

objectName . methodName ( arg1, arg2, ..)

The function call syntax is a standard followed by several programming languages, however, the argument types in VBScript objects, when used for product scripting, are restricted to the following

Primitive types

Named Array

Named Function

Primitive Types

Primitive types are the standard bool, int, float, double and string

Named Array

Named arrays are a special construct used very commonly and can be found in practically every recorded script sample.

It starts with Array( “NAME:someName” and is followed by a collection of comma separated values which can be:

• A primitive value

• An array of primitive values

• Another named array

• A key, of the form “keyName:=” followed by

• A primitive value

• A function (described next)

Named Function

Named functions are arrays which start with Array( and do not have a leading “NAME:name” item. They are always introduced by a key and can contain comma separated values of the following type:

• A primitive value

• A key (of the form “keyName:=”) followed by

• A primitive value

• Another function (nested function)
