LDC #20: Running a Script From a Command-Line

Like many programs, the GoFiler application can be run from a command-line or shell command. By learning some basics, you can run and control the application directly from a command prompt or shell execute. Further, by using some script code you can do much more than just open a file.

Legato Developers Corner #18: Regular Expressions and Legato

In this blog we will discuss regular expressions and how you can employ them in your Legato scripts to add robust field validation as well as patterned string replacements. Regular expressions are a powerful tool that can be used in many languages so the concepts here can apply to things outside the scope of Legato. There are a few different “flavors” of regular expressions, but Legato uses the ECMAScript standard (very similar to Perl). If you already have a good understanding of regular expressions, you may wish to skip to the “Using Regular Expression in Legato” section.

Legato Developers Corner #16: What Time Is It? Date and Time Functions

Legato has several functions to help manage displaying and tracking time. It might be very useful to know, for example, how long has it been since the last action was performed. Say you want to run a task every five minutes. Well, you need some way to check to see if five minutes has elapsed or not. Additionally, if you want to display time to a user, you need to make sure that the time is displayed in an intelligible format, not just a number of milliseconds seconds since 1970 or something equally useless to anyone except a machine. This article will discuss a few of the functions that simplify this.

Legato Developers Corner #13: Exploding Strings and Files

No, they don’t actually go BOOM! Legato features both implode and explode functions that allow strings to be created from or turned into arrays of strings. There are actually a number of functions for different purposes, such as exploding formatted text or a parameter array. These functions bundle a lot of horsepower into just a few operations and when combined with other functions, they make it easy to load or write complex data.
