Abstract
A scripting tool for executing a script command having at least one parameter includes a display device, a processor, and a memory. The memory has stored therein instructions which when executed by the processor cause the processor to generate a user input control for a parameter of the script command based upon a definition file, and display the user input control upon the display device. The instructions of the memory when executed by the processor further cause the processor to receive user input via the user input control, and generate a parameter value based upon the user input. Moreover, the instructions when executed by the processor cause the processor to set the parameter of the script command equal to the parameter value, and execute the script command based upon the parameter.
Claims20
A method of utilizing a definition file to define characteristics of at least one parameter of a script command comprising:
- displaying for a parameter within a script command, a user input control defined by a definition file, said user input control displaying an identifier for said parameter and a value for said parameter;
- receiving user input via said user input control;
- generating a parameter value based upon said received user input;
- and
- setting said value of said parameter of said script command equal to said generated parameter value.
A scripting tool for executing a script command having at least one parameter, comprising a display device, a processor, and a memory having stored therein a plurality of instructions which when executed by said processor causes said processor to:
- generate a user input control for a parameter within a script command based upon a definition file, said user input control including an identifier and a value for said parameter;
- display said user input control upon said display device;
- receive user input via said user input control;
- generate a parameter value based upon said user input;
- set said parameter of said script command equal to said generated parameter value;
- and
- execute said script command having said parameter set to said generated parameter value.
A method executing a script command having at least one parameter, comprising:
- generating a user input control for a parameter of a script command based upon a definition file, said user input control having an identifier and a value for said parameter;
- receiving user input for said parameter via said user input control;
- generating a parameter value based upon said received user input;
- setting said parameter equal to said generated parameter value;
- and
- executing said script command having said parameter set to generated parameter value.
