Scripting

This page describes the syntax and possibilities with scripting.

Scripting is based on the powerful Scriban scripting language. You can find more information here:

  • Language Overview: Here

  • Built-in Functions: Here

Different than stated in the scriban docs, Race Result Exchange is not changing the casing of variables or functions. Even more, you can use string.ends_withor string.EndsWith, whereas the later is preferred as it means the declaration of the method is not touched.

The following script will output "Hello World":

{{ "Hello World" }}

The following script will take the current time and pads it to 12 characters and center aligns it if need be. This is possible by using the | pipe character: The expression to the left is forwarded to a function that is given by the name after the pipe. The forwarded argument will be the first in the function arguments list:

{{ Clock | TrimPad 12 "Center" }}

Without using piping, you can also use a traditional way of calling methods:

{{ TrimPad Clock  12 "Center" }}
