scriptVar.name

This attribute contains the name of a script in the run-time environment.

Type TSP-Link accessible Affected by Where saved Default value

Attribute (RW) No Not applicable Not applicable Not applicable

Usage

scriptVar.name = scriptName

scriptName = scriptVar.name

scriptVar

Name of the variable that references the script

scriptName

A string that represents the name of the script

Details

When setting the script name, this attribute renames the script that the variable scriptVar references.

This attribute must be either a valid Lua identifier or the empty string. Changing the name of a script changes the

index used to access the script in the script.user.scripts table. Setting the attribute to an empty string

removes the script from the table completely, and the script becomes an unnamed script.

As long as there are variables referencing an unnamed script, the script can be accessed through those

variables. When all variables that reference an unnamed script are removed, the script will be removed from the

run-time environment.

If the new name is the same as a name that is already used for another script, the name of the other script is set

to an empty string, and that script becomes unnamed.

Changing the name of a script does not change the name of any variables that reference that script.

The variables will still reference the script, but the names of the script and variables may not match.

Example

test7 = script.new("display.clear() display.settext('Hello from my test')", "")

test7()

print(test7.name)

test7.name = "test7"

print(test7.name)

test7.save()

This example calls the script.new() function to create a script with no name, runs the script, names the

script "test7", and then saves the script in nonvolatile memory.
