User script or other technique?
-
I'm working on a program that I'd like to be open to customization by the user. It will generate messages (to be sent over Ethernet or serial ports) and allow the user to specify a set of rules to follow when doing so. I'd like the user to be able to create a list of steps to take and also allow the user to create loops and test conditions (if, else, ...). For now, I'm hardcoding task types but it would be nice if I could allow the user to write a script that my software could understand and follow instead of forcing the user to use my pre-built task types. I know it's not going to be easy or quick but I'd still like to look into it further. Does anyone know where I might find information on doing something like this? Would it be possible to use an existing scripting language (PERL or other)? Thanks for any info you might have on this.

The older "Visual BASIC for Applications" possibly :~ Or try this msdn.microsoft.com/scripting
