The Scripting Index
The Scripting Index on the Help menu provides a brief description and the syntax for JSL functions, objects, and display boxes. Each entry includes an example that you can run and modify to test your own code. And an embedded log window lets you see messages as examples are run.
The Scripting Index window includes the following buttons:
Click the Search button to begin the search.
Click the Clear button to clear the search text box to begin a new search.
Click the Settings button to set search types and parameters.
Several types of searches are available from the Settings button:
Partial Match
returns all entries that contain at least a part of the “string” for example, a search for “leas” will return messages such as “Release Zoom” and “Partial Least Squares”. This option is the default search type.
Exact Phrase
returns entries that contain the exact string, for example, a search for “text” will return all elements that contain the “text” string.
All Terms
returns entries that contain either or both strings, for example, a search for “t test” will return all elements that contain either or both of the search strings, “Pat Test”, “Shortest Edit Script” and “Paired t test”.
Any Term
returns entries that contain either of the search strings, for example, a search for “text string” returns “Context Box”, “Drag Text”, and “Is String”.
Regular Expression
allows you to use the wildcard (*) and period (.) in the search box, for example, searching for “get *name” returns messages such as “Get Name Info” and “Get Namespace”. Searching for “get.*name” returns items such as “Get Color Theme Names”, “Get Name Info”, and “Get Effect Names”.
Several search parameters are also available from the Settings button:
All Fields
specifies that JMP search all fields in the index for the search string.
Titles Only
specifies that JMP search only index titles for the search string.
Examples Only
specifies that JMP search only index examples for the search string.
Without Examples
specifies that JMP exclude examples from the search.
Click an item’s Topic Help button to read more about the item in JMP’s online Help system.
