Using third-party scripting languages


You can specify a .php, .prl, py, or other script (not just a batch file) and reference the script interpreter with a standard shebang character combination. In these cases, the user simply includes the standard shebang operator #! at the top of the script to launch the interpreter.

Example

If the Perl scripting interpreter resides in the C:/Perl/bin directory, you can include the following as the FIRST line of the file, and this automatically launches the Perl interpreter when the action script is invoked:

#!C:/Perl/bin/perl.exe

You can specify either forward or backward slashes, and the path (like all Windows paths) is not case-sensitive.
