==How to use each command:==
===AppendFile - Add a string to the end of a file===
'''AppendFile( <filename> <value1> <value2> ... )'''
 
The first parameter is the name of the file and all the others parameters will be added at the end of this file.
 
'''Example :'''
sequence(seq 1 3 1)
foreach(value ${seq})
appendFile('C:/bmtest.txt' 'value: ${value}\n')
endforeach(value)
 
This script will add the following strings at the end of the file entitled "C:/bmtest.txt" :
 
"value: 1"
 
"value: 2"
 
"value: 3"
 
===CloseTCPSocket - Close a TCP/IP socket===
'''CloseTCPSocket( <SocketName> )'''
 
'''Example :'''
CloseTCPSocket(MySocket)
 
 
===DashboardExperiment - Specify the encrypted name of the experiment to report on===
'''DashboardExperiment( <encryptedExperiment> )'''
 
The encryptedExperiment is given when creating a new experiment online (this requires a login/pass)
 
'''Example :'''
DashboardExperiment( 7YF04vELWW4m1B88t)
 
 
===DashboardHost - Specify the hostname of the central database manager===
'''DashboardHost( <hostname> )'''
 
'''Example :'''
DashboardHost(www.kitware.com)
 
===DashboardNotify - Add a new string to the central database===
'''DashboardNotify( <message> )'''
 
'''Example :'''
DashboardNotify('End of first experiment')
 
 
===DashboardSend - Send the results of a program to the central database for data collection===
'''DashboardSend( <methodid> <value1> <value2> )'''
 
'''Example :'''
DashboardSend(1,${value1},${value2})
 
 
===DeleteFile - Delete a file on disk ===
'''DeleteFile( <filename> )'''
 
'''Example :'''
DeleteFile('myfile.txt')
 
 
===Echo - Print messages on the standard output===
'''Echo( <value1> <value2> ... )'''
 
'''Example :'''
sequence(seq 1 2 1)
sequence(seq2 1 2 1)
foreach(value ${seq})
foreach(value2 ${seq2})
Echo(value: ${value} ${value2})
endforeach(value2)
endforeach(value)
 
This script will print the following lines on the screen :
 
value: 1 1
 
value: 1 2
 
value: 2 1
 
value: 2 2
 
 
===ExtractSlice - Extract a slice from a 3D image volume===
'''ExtractSlice( <3D image filename> <2D image filename> <orientation> <slice> )'''
 
'''Example :'''
ExtractSlice('head.mha','slice.jpg',0,23)
This command extracts the saggital slice #23 from the volume head.mha and write the extracted slice to slice.jpg
 
 
===ExtractString - Extract a string from a string chain===
'''ExtractString( <output> <input> <lenght> [FROMEND] [KEEPEND] )'''
 
The parameter <output> will contain the <lenght> first characters of <input> if FROMEND is not set. With FROMEND the <lenght> last characters won't be copied. if KEEPEND is specified then the end of the string is returned.
 
'''Example :'''
set(example 'hello')
extractstring(result ${example} 1)
extractstring(result2 ${example} 2 FROMEND)
extractstring(result3 ${example} 2 KEEPEND)
extractstring(result4 ${example} 2 FROMEND KEEPEND)
echo(${result})
echo(${result2})
echo(${result3})
echo(${result4})
This script will print the following lines on the screen :
 
h
 
hel
 
llo
 
lo
 
 
===ForEach / EndForEach  - Create a "for" loop===
'''ForEach( <variable> <sequence> )'''
'''EndForEach( <variable> )'''
 
During the ith iteration, <variable> contains the ith parameter of <sequence>. The EndForEach command allows to define the end of the loop.
 
'''Example :'''
set(seq a b c d e f)
ForEach(letter ${seq})
echo(${letter})
EndForEach(letter)
