NAME

epgsearchuservars.conf - User defined variables

DESCRIPTION

In this file you can defines variables which then can be used in epgsearch in any play where variables are possible.

SYNTAX

Variables looks like %Variablename%.

``Variablename'' can be consist of any alphanumerical character. Space and special characters are not allowed.

The variable names are case-insensitive.

Examples for possible names:

  %Series% %DocuVar1% %ThemesSubtitleDate1%
 
 

Assignment

  %Series%=New series~Thriller
 
 

The variable %Series% will be assigned with the string ``New series~Thriller''.

Assignments are always strings. Spaces stay spaces.

  %Path%=%Series%
 
 

The variable %Path% gets the content of the variable %Series%.

You can do nearly everything:

  %Path%=%Serie%~Lost
 
 

The variable %Path% contains now the string ``New series~Thriller~Lost''.

Control structures

You can use simple ``if then else'' constructions.

These constructions cannot contain strings, only variables. Spaces are ignored.

  %Foo%=Other
 
  %Variable%=%Path% ? %Path% : %Foo%
 
 

If %Path% is not empty, assign the content of %Path% to %Variable%, otherwise the content of %Foo%.

``%Path% ?'' means ``not empty?''. You can use other checks.

  %Variable%=%Path%!=5 ? %Path% : %Foo%
 
 

``%Path%!=5 ?'' means ``is %Path% equal 5?''

You can also compare variables.

  %Five%=5
 
  %Variable%=%Path%!=%Five% ? %Path% : %Foo%
 
 

Other possible checks:

  ==   equal
  !=   not equal
 
 

Calling a system command

You can call external commands. The returned string will be assigned to a variable
  %Result%=system(scriptname,%Variable1% %Variable2% -f %Variable3% --dir=%Variable4% --dummy)
 
 

Calls the script ``scriptname'' with the parameters ``%Variable1%'', ``%Variable2%'', etc. The result will be stored in %Result%.

You can use as many variables as you want.

If needed, epgsearch will quote the variable.

The script must return a string without line break!

If the script returns nothing, an empty string will be assigned to the Variable %Result%.
