Figure 133: Create an unnamed script
A script becomes unnamed if you create a new script with the same name. In this circumstance, the
name of the script in the script.user.scripts table is set to an empty string before it is replaced
by the new script.
For example, if beepTwoSec already exists in the script.user.scripts table and you sent:
beepTwoSec1200 = script.new("beeper.enable = 1 beeper.beep(2, 1200)", "beepTwoSec")
The following actions occur:
• beepTwoSec1200 is added as a global variable.
• The script that was in the runtime environment as beepTwoSec is changed to an unnamed script
(the name attribute is set to an empty string).
• The global variable beepTwoSec remains in the runtime environment unchanged (it points to the
now unnamed script).
• A new script named beepTwoSec is added to the runtime environment.
In this example, you can access the new script by sending either of the following commands:
beepTwoSec1200()
script.user.scripts.beepTwoSec()
To access the unnamed script, you can send the command:
beepTwoSec()
