3. Paste the entire function you want to use into the editor. For instance, the following HEScript code returns the path to the user’s “My Documents” directory:

   function GetDocPath: String;
   begin
     Result := GetSpecialFolderPath(16);
   end;

4. Click Save Script. Your script is ready!

Executing the Script #

JavaScript and PHP can be used to invoke HEScript.

To execute the code shown previously, you would use the following in PHP:

<?php
$path = exo_return_hescriptcom('UserMain.GetDocPath', '');
?>
