Gentee script programming language

Gentee is a free open source script programming language. The Gentee programming language is designed to create scripts to automate repetitive actions and processes on your computer. If you use or plan to use .bat files, bash, PowerShell or special programs to automate actions, then try doing the same thing with Gentee.

Want to see a sample application that successfully uses the Gentee programming language? Take a look at Eonza, a free cross-platform program for easy creation and management of scripts.

Documentation

All documentation is available on GitHub.

Download

You can download other binary distributions for Linux, macOS, Windows here.

Go integration

You can use the Gentee compiler and virtual machine in golang projects without any restrictions.
Documentation is available here.

How to run Gentee scripts

Download the binary version of Gentee compiler for your operating system or build the gentee executable file from cli/gentee.go using go compiler.

$ go get -u github.com/gentee/gentee
$ cd gentee/gentee/cli
$ go build

Specify the script file when running gentee. The script file can have any extension.

Linux: ./gentee myscript.g 
Wndows: gentee.exe myscript.g

Also, you can associate the gentee program with script files in your operating system.

Gentee compiler/interpreter

gentee [-ver] [-t] <scriptname> [command-line parameters for script]

By default, the program prints the output of the script to the console and returns 0 if successful.

Command line parameters

scriptname - full or relative path to the script file. You can specify the command line parameters for the script after the script file name.
-ver - show the current version of Gentee language.
-t - test the script. When using this parameter, the script must have the result parameter in the header with the expected value (example). In this mode, the program does not output the result of the script execution to the console. If the result does not match, an error message is displayed and an error code 4 is returned.

Error code

Code	Description
1	The script file was not found.
2	Compilation error.
3	Runtime Error.
4	The result is erroneous at start with the -t parameter.

Conversion between Gentee types and Golang types
Is there any example, or already included easy way to convert between Golang and Gentee types?

For example to convert between a Golang Map to a Gentee Map, i made the following function:

func GoMap2GenteeMap(goMap map[string]interface{}) *core.Map { ret := core.NewMap() for key, _ := range goMap { ret.Keys = append(ret.Keys, key) } ret.Data = goMap return ret }

But i have the feeling as if i am missing something.

Sorry if it is obvious, but i am still relatively new to Golang.
Ctrl+Esc to stop running scripts does not work on W10 PC

In Windows 10 pressing Ctrl+Esc in "Perfect Automation" project's executable (hidden) causes the Start Menu to activate, so I am unable to cancel execution of a macro. Is there a way to alter the "Stop Execution"Key combination?
Add examples

Hey Alexey

great project :) by change you can add a few examples in the documentation? that anyone just can run easy like ./gentee example1.g and see a full script with gentee?

I'm wrong or this is not related to this project? https://www.gentee.com/programming/samples/
-v IS IN FACT -ver

" -v - show the current version of Gentee language. " -ver

Very nice product to discover & follow, it is playfull. Now API, libs,... Go compiles Gentee in 3.69M, RED makes ~1M ... what a competition in sight.
