Each keyword can be combined with an argument or a list of arguments. An argument is always surrounded by brackets. Three different types of argument exist: string, integer number or real number. A string is surrounded by apostrophes. The kind of argument depends on the keyword (see the keyword topics).
The following operators can occur in an argument (or argument list):
|
* |
wildcard character where * replaces one or several characters. It is valid only for string arguments. |
|
Example: ('PUMP'*) |
|
|
: |
defines an interval. Valid for all argument types. |
|
Examples: (1:5), ('A':'C'*) |
|
|
, |
repetition operator. Valid for all argument types. |
|
Example: (1,5) |
Combinations of these operators are allowed in one argument.
