Scripting Reference

Flow maps are based on a script engine. The script engine allows you to create custom code to perform the mapping of data from one field to another. Being script based the mapping it is not limited to any particular processing, but rather is completely configurable by the operator..

Flows script engine is based on Object Pascal. This is the same language used within the Delphi programming environment. Flows script engine shares many of the same functions as Delphi and is similar in syntax. You will find that the syntax is also very similar to C#.

Within this section you will find information on the scripting engine, however you can also find relevant information by searching the Internet for terms like "Delphi" or "Object Pascal". For instance to find a string handling function you could search for "Delphi copy string".

This section provides reference information on the scripting engine. You should read through each of the following topics in order to provide an overview to scripting. At a later time you can refer back to this section when looking for a function to perform a required task.
