ESSO Scripting Language

Introduction

The scripting language used is a full ECMAScript interpreter. Nevertheless, it's not a Javascript interpreter as it's used on web browsers. It only has the core elements of ECMAScript (Objects, Arrays, String, etc.) and a set of objects and functions specially designed for its purpouse.

When the script is run, the elements matched, either window or HTML components, with a ref-as tag will be declared as global variable. Additionally, in the case of web applications, a global variable named document contains the reference to the full HTML document.

Here are the supported functions and classes:

1. Global functions

Global functions can be used in an action element:

debug	text: string	Sends a message to the debug console.
sleep	millis: int	Stops script execution for the specified milliseconds. Never stops the execution of the application.
env	text: string returns string	Gets the value of an environment variable.
exec	text: string [Dir: string]	Run an external application. Optionally, you can specify a directory to change to.
execWait	text: string [Dir: string]	Executes external application and waits for its completion. Optionally, you can specify a directory to change to.
sendKeys	text: string	Simulates the pressing of the keys indicated. You can see more information on the ESSO sendKeys syntax page.
sendText	text: string	Simulates keystroke typed text. Unlike the SendKeys function, the text is sent, verbatim, without any interpretation.
alert	text: string	Displays a confirmation message to the user.
progress	text: string	Displays a progress message without confirmation from the user.
cancelProgress		Hide progress message.
alertNoWait	text: string	A message, but does not expect the user confirmation.

1.1. ESSO SendKeys syntax

SendKeys syntax

The sendKeys function aims to perform as the user pressing keystrokes. Thus, the function SendKeys ("ABC") simulates to press those three letters.

The keystrokes will be done independently of the application that generates them. Thus, it is possible to press keys that change the focused control or even the active application using sendKeys.

To mimic the action of pressing to keys simultaneously, you can make use of modifiers. The available modifiers are listed at the attached table. So, to send the character ':' you can execute sendKeys("+."). This combination will simulate pressing the Shift key along with '.'. In order to allow a simpler syntax, you can use parentheses to specify more than one key affected by modifiers. Thus, the function SendKeys ("+ (hello)") generates the word HELLO in upper case.

Modifier	Key
@	WINDOWS
+	SHIFT
^	CTRL
%	ALT

It should be noted that this method can not get accented letters as a parameter, but the combination necessary to generate the desired letter. This method has a big drawback. The combination of keys needed to get a letter can be different depending of the current keyboard layout. So, in order to send arbitrary text characters, it is recommended to use the function sendText.

Additionally, the sendKeys function supports this “virtual keystrokes” that do not correspond to a specific key but an actual action do be done:

Tag	Action taken.
VKEY {X}	The virtual code key (VKEY) will be sent. It is useful to use non-standard keys.
XY {BEEP}	A sound with a frequency X during Y time (in milliseconds).
{DELAY X}	X milliseconds pause.
{DELAY = X}	Make a dealy of X milliseconds between each simulated keystrokes.
{AppActivate WindowTitle}	Bring foreground and activates the application with the specified title.

To send function keys, you can use the following codes:

Key	Tag	Key	Tag
Backspace	{BACKSPACE} or {BS}	F1	{F1}
Break	{BREAK}	F2	{F2}
CapsLock	{CAPSLOC}	F3	{F3}
Delete	{DELETE} or {DEL}	F4	{F4}
Down arrow	{DOWN}	F5	{F5}
End	{END}	F6	{F6}
Enter	{ENTER} or ~	F7	{F7}
Ex	{ESC}	F8	{F8}
Help	{HELP}	F9	{F9}
Home	{HOME}	F10	{F10}
Lnsert	{INS}	F11	{F11}
Left arrow	{LEFT}	F12	{F12}
Num Lock	{NUMLOCK}	F13	{F13}
Next page	{PGDN}	F14	{F14}
Previous page	{PGUP}	F15	{F15}
Print screen	{PRTSC}	F16	{F16}
Right Arrow	{RIGHT}	^	{CARET}
Scroll Lock	{SCROLL}	~	{Tilde}
Tab	{TAB}	{	{LEFTBRACE}
Up arrow	{UP}	}	{RIGHTBRACE}
+ (Numeric keypad)	{ADD}	(	{LEFTPAREN}
- (Numeric keypad)	{SUBSTRCT}	)	{RIGHTPAREN}
* (Numeric keypad)	{Multiply}	windows (left)	{LWIN} or {RWIN}
/ (Numeric keypad)	{DIVIDE}	windows (right)	{RWIN}
+	{PLUS}	context menu	{APPS}
@	{AT}

Here are a few small examples :
