Condition

Test for conditions. See Loop and conditions for usage.

FileExist

Check for a file or directory existing. Supports wildcards * for any number of characters and ? for exactly one character.

Name	Type	Annotation
file	filename	supports wildcards: * and ?

Command

Execute command and check success.

Name	Type	Annotation
command	filename
silently	boolean	without showing the output.

Expression

Evaluate expression.

Name	Type	Annotation
expression	expression

Matrix

Evaluate elements of a matrix based on an expression. If all=yes, all elements of the matrix must evaluate to true for the condition to be fulfilled, otherwise any element evaluating to true is sufficient.

Name	Type	Annotation
matrix	matrixGenerator	expression is evaluated for each element of resulting matrix
expression	expression	(variable: data) evaluated for each element
all	boolean	all (=yes)/any (=no) elements must evaluate to true

MatrixEmpty

Evaluate if matrix (or instrument) file is empty/has zero size.

Name	Type	Annotation
inputfileMatrix	filename

StringContainsPattern

Determines if there is a match between a pattern or a regular expression and some subsequence in a string.

Name	Type	Annotation
string	filename	should contain a {variable}
pattern	filename
isRegularExpression	boolean	pattern is a regular expression
caseSensitive	boolean	treat lower and upper case as distinct

StringMatchPattern

Determines if a pattern or a regular expression matches the entire string.

Name	Type	Annotation
string	filename	should contain a {variable}
pattern	filename
isRegularExpression	boolean	pattern is a regular expression
caseSensitive	boolean	treat lower and upper case as distinct

And

All conditions must be met (with short-circuit evaluation).

Name	Type	Annotation
condition	condition

Or

One of the conditions must be met (with short-circuit evaluation).

Name	Type	Annotation
condition	condition

Not

The result of the condition is inverted.

Name	Type	Annotation
condition	condition
