Script language

Post by MerleOne »

Hi,
Just a basic question, I cannot find where the script language is described. I would like to edit a GUI generated script by adding the creation of a logfile the name of which would display the date/hour and type of the backup.
Thanks.

If you're referring to TBScript (.tbs), the manual is installed with IFW, the program group has it. Plus the extensions are in the TBOSDT Manual. Also there are samples at https://www.terabyteunlimited.com/tbosdt/ (bottom).

If you're referring to .run files, those just run tbosdt commands but you can convert it to TBScript via the ext() function.

If you're referring to batch files, you can find a lot of references online.

Same if you're referring to bash / shell scripts in linux.

Thanks, it's the first item I was looking for (.tbs syntax). I did find the references I was looking for in the manual (I was looking online instead of locally...). Everything seems to be there, I just have to experiment a bit now.
Thanks !
