12: Scripts Interface Script Syntax This section describes the abbreviated scripting syntax for Interface Scripts. This limited syntax was created to prevent the creation of scripts containing potentially harmful commands. Script commands are divided into three groups: Primary, Secondary and Control Flow. Primary commands provide the basic functionality of a script and are generally the first element on a line of a script, as in: send_user "Password:" Secondary commands provide support for the primary commands and are generally not useful by themselves. For example, the expr command can be used to generate a value for a set command. set [expr 1 + 1] Control Flow commands allow conditional execution of other commands based on the results of the evaluation of a Boolean expression.
