Script 2 Batch Compiler

Script 2 Batch Compiler is a project aimed at making windows scripting easy and user friendly. It was originally thought of in late November 2010.

Latest svn version
Script 2 Batch Compiler features:
*compensates and walks around glitches and problems batch code has.
*Makes it easier to write and read batch code.
*Adds new functions to the batch language. Such as Arrays and more proper if statements.

Script 2 Batch Compiler uses a script that resembels PHP script.
Curently the project is webb only but the plan is to move to XLS when the project has come a bit further.
Paste or write a script in the text box and press convert you may need to toogle edit before doing that. Then copy the output to your .bat file and your done.
Since the project currently is in pre alpha state it only runs in FireFox and you will need the firebug add-on for FireFox. Cause of memmory leaks caused by poor memmory manegment from firefox. It is recomended to refresh the page after a couple of convertions.


Variables are identified by the $ sign
Example:
$num1r = 34;
$num_var = $num1r * 23 +4;

code lines are ended with ;

Strings are defined with " NOT '
Escaping " in strings is done with ^"

if and else statements
Example:
if(1==2 || "gh" != "qw" && 1>0){
    echo("if was true");
}else if($num1r >= 34)
    echo("else if was true");
else
{
    echo("else was true");
}

while statements
Example1:
$i = 0; while(10>$i){
    echo("if was true");
    if($i == 5)
        break;
    i++;
}
Example2:
$i = 0; while(10>$i)
    echo(i++);


for statements
Example:
for($i=0;10>$i,$i++){
    echo("if was true");
    if($i == 5)
        break;
}

function defines
Example:
function my_function($a_variable,$one_more)
{
    echo( str_concat("it is a function $_variable has the value of: ",$a_variable) );
    return ($one_more+2,$one_more-3);
}

reg_add($str1,$str2)
// Not DONE.... adds reg key at $str1, options is $str2(open cmd and write reg add /? for more info about options).

reg_delete($str1,$str2)

reg_query($str1,$str2)
// Not DONE.... get reg key at $str1, options is $str2(open cmd and write reg query /? for more info about options "/v "+"$value_name" is most likely the wanted option).

file_write_line($str1,$str2)
// returns nothing writes $str2 to file $str1.

file_read($str1)

file_append_line($str1,$str2)

dir($filter,$sort,$timetype)

Timetype defines with time to sort files after(if files are sorted by time):creation = C, last written = W or last access = A

cd($str) //sets or gets the current working directory.

str_pos($hay_stack,$needle,$from) //finds a substring in a string. Starts search at $from witch has the defult value 0. Returns -1 if string was not found
