mrScriptBasic examples

Scripting > mrScriptBasic overview > mrScriptBasic examples

This section provides some examples that illustrate using mrScriptBasic. These examples are designed to give you a taste for what is possible rather than as a teach-yourself guide to mrScriptBasic. However, the examples illustrate many of the main syntactical differences between mrScriptBasic and the Visual Basic languages. So if you have some knowledge of one of the Visual Basic languages (Visual Basic, VBA, or VBScript), these examples will help you to get started with mrScriptBasic. Many of the examples are available as a sample file that comes with the UNICOM Intelligence Developer Documentation Library. See Sample mrScriptBasic files for more information.
