Examples
A good way to learn BrightScript is to look at or modify existing scripts. You can find links to
example scripts at www.brightsign.biz/support/demos . On the demos web page, enter
brightsign as the username and demos246 as the password. The AUTORUN.BAS in the
HD600 Demo is an example of a more sophisticated script.
You can also test BrightScript commands using the shell. Here is an example:
Welcome to the Roku Shell version 1.1.28 Release
Type '?' for help or 'help <command>' for help on <command>.
Roku> script
BrightScript Micro Debugger.
Enter any BrightScript statement, debug commands, or HELP.
BrightScript> print "hello"
hello
BrightScript> ? "hello"
hello
BrightScript> ?5+6
11
BrightScript> ?type(5)
rotINT32
BrightScript> if 1=1 then print"1 does equal 1!" else print "strange!"
1 does equal 1!
BrightScript> ?right("abcdef",3)
def
BrightScript> exit
