====== Eval(text_expression) ====== Category: Special function \\ =====Description===== This function evaluates the //text_expression// argument as an EasyMorph expression. \\ =====Use cases===== This function makes it possible to define EasyMorph expressions externally using parameters. \\ =====Arguments===== ^Argument^Type^Description^ |text_expression|Text|An expression in text format to be evaluated.| **Return value type:** Any (The type of the expression output) \\ =====Remarks===== The argument itself must not be an expression with a reference to a column. In an expression, the eval() function is evaluated first (pre-evaluated) and only then the whole expression is evaluated for every row. Pre-evaluation can be recursive until the final expression doesn't contain the eval() function. \\ =====Examples===== eval('1+1') //Returns 2 eval('1' & '+1') //Returns 2 eval('max(1,2)') //Returns 2 eval('[Count]+1') //Evaluated as [Count]+1 eval([Count] & '+1') //Invalid! Column references are not allowed in argument expressions. eval({Param1}) //Parameter references to expressions in text format are allowed. eval("1+" & "eval('1+1')") //Returns 3 (Nesting eval() is allowed.)
