Text notation : "ABC", "keyence"
Naming methods Character code (decimal number) notation : "\013\010"
character string ([CR][LF])
 Script file name Escape sequence : "\r"
(CR)
The script file name handled by SR-2000/1000/750/700 is FmtSet.lua only. Integer number : 1, -1
Numerical value Decimal number : 2.0, -2.0
 Names defined in the script program Hexadecimal number notation : 0x0a
Types of Name defined in the script program are as follows. True : true
Logical value
False : false
• Variable name, array variable name
• Function name * The condition that no value is assigned to the variable is called nil. If it is referred,
an error will occur. Be sure to assign a value before referring to the variable.
 Definitions of variable name and table name
Start the name with a 1-byte alphabet character.
 character string
1-byte alphanumeric characters and "_" (underscore) can be used.  Text notation
Do not use reserved words. Expresses with the text surrounded with "". Numerical values, symbols and

 Assignment and initialization of variable a= 123 Assigns decimal number integer 123 to variable a.
b = -1.5 Assigns decimal number integer -1.5 to variable b.
Storing a value in a variable is called "assignment".
Assigning a value at the time of variable declaration is called "Initialization". c = 0x0f Assigns hexadecimal number f to variable c.

Example
 Logical value
local a=0 Initializes with 0 when declaring variable a. Logical value shows True or False to processed results.
a=1 Assigns 1 to variable a.

Escape sequence
If this is referred with no value assigned to the variable, an error will occur when
executing the script. Pattern Meaning

Declares variable b and initializes with character
local b = "Auto-ID"
Comparative operator Meaning string "Auto-ID".
< smaller local c Declares variable c.
<= smaller or equal c = a..b Assigns values after a and b are connected.

On the left-hand side and the right-hand side of each operator, write numerical
values, variables of numerical values or arithmetic expression.
Example

Examples of calculations and results (a=10, b=1)

Important Comparison is also possible by assigning character strings to

variables. However, when variables are evaluated by conditional
expression, and if they cannot be converted to numerical values,
an error will occur on execution.

* If ^ (caret) is added to the beginning of the pattern, the match is fixed to the
beginning of the target character string.
