eval
Evaluates the contents of a string as an expression.
Syntax
eval(str_expr)
Argument
- str_expr
- A string expression.
Example
| Templex Expression | Result | 
|---|---|
| {formula = "1 +
                                            1"}
 | 2 | 
| {eval("sin(PI/2)")} | 1 | 
Comments
When Templex encounters an eval statement, str_expr is evaluated as an expression and the result is written to the output text. The contents of str_expr are not changed.
str_expr can be either a literal text string or a string variable. If str_expr is a literal text string, it must be placed between double quotes.
