The script file is one of the group of [[Data-Driven-System|data-driven]] text files that interact with the ParserMonster framework. A script is a task file that you create with the  {{:docuwiki-export-to-script.png?nolink|}} button and load with the {{:docuwiki-import-script.png?nolink|}} button.

You may want to create a script to:
  * Preserve current folder settings
  * Modify the default behavior of commands
  * Override some directives
  * Set up reports

FIXME

Although not strictly necessary, you should use the directive [[directiveicon|<icon>]]**script** to identify scripts. The icon looks like this: {{icons:ti-script.jpg}}

In addition, you may want to use a file name prefix to group all scripts together.

(ParserMonster offers to save new scripts as **si**-//taskname//-//yyyymmdd//.//task//.)

==== Preserve Settings ====
This is the most common use of scripts. Save your [[<readfrom>|Read From]] and [[<writeto>|Write To]] folders, as well as the [[<filefilters>|file filters]].

==== Modify Command Behavior ====


==== Override Directives ====


==== Setup Reports ====
