Hello, I'm wondering if someone could help me to understand what some certain scripting syntax is. I've been trying to find it in the help and I must not be looking in the right place.
I see in some scripts some syntax like 3:="n" or 5:="c" or 7:="*.jpg|*.png".
Can someone explain or lead me in the right direction of what these mean? Some examples of them in the scripting reference are:
sync "E:\Test\Sync\Source", "E:\Test\Sync\Target", 5:="c"; //show config
sync "E:\Test\Sync\Source", "E:\Test\Sync\Target", 7:="*.jpg|*.png";
text inputselect("Test", "a|b|c|d", 3:=512+16);
