User's Guide - Expressions
A value-delimiting character marks the beginning or end of a value in an expression. In AutoPlay Media Studio, spaces and all of the operators except AND, OR and MOD act as delimiters in unquoted strings. These characters will delimit or "break" a string into multiple parts unless the string is surrounded by quotation marks.
In order to be seen as a single value, a string must be surrounded by quotation marks if it contains spaces or any of the following characters:
+ - * / = > < ( )
|
Examples: |
"2+2" |
- |
a single value, not delimited...the "+" is part of the string |
|
|
2-2 |
- |
two values delimited by a subtraction operator: "2" - "2" |
|
|
score |
- |
a single value, not delimited...the "or" is part of the string |
|
|
Hello Mom |
- |
two string values delimited by a space: "Hello" "Mom" |
|
|
"Hello Mom" |
- |
a single value, not delimited...the space is part of the string |
