Ejscript FAQ

Use the print global function:

home> ejs
print("Hello World")
Hello World

There are several ways to read from a file. To read the entire file into a string:

str = File.getString("file.txt")

To read a file line-by-line:

lines = File.getLines("file.txt")
for each (l in lines) {
    print(l)
}

Run ejscript with the logging switch "--log". The logging switch takes the following parameters:

ejs --log logName[:logLevel]

Where logLevel is a number between 0 and 9. Zero is the least verbose.

In the default binary distribution or if ejs is built in debug mode, level 2 will trace each source code and assembler instruction as it is executed.
