Namespace

A namespace is a named set of ! variables. At any moment one namespace is current, and every !x in the script means the variable x of that namespace. Switching namespaces gives a sub its own variables, or lets several scripts share some.

• Local namespaces belong to one script tab: no other script sees them.
• Global namespaces are shared by every script running in EasyUO Reforged, in any tab.

A script starts in the local namespace std. #NSName and #NSType tell which namespace is current.

Command	What it does
namespace local	Makes a local namespace current.
namespace global	Makes a global namespace current.
namespace push	Remembers the current namespace.
namespace pop	Goes back to the namespace last remembered.
namespace copy	Copies variables between the current namespace and another.
namespace clear	Deletes every variable of the current namespace.

% variables are not affected by namespaces: they always belong to the script.

Example

A sub that works in its own namespace, so it cannot overwrite the caller’s ! variables:

set !count 10
gosub work
gosub work
display ok !count            ; still 10
halt

sub work
  namespace push
  namespace local work
  set !count !count + 1
  namespace pop
return
