Hi
I am new to scripting with Mikrotik but not new to programming. I have been looking through the scripting manual and have noticed that variables are declared for example :local a 5 then when the variable is used a $ sign has been added at the beginning eg :put " 5x6 = $($a * $b)"; I can’t see anywhere why this is. I have tried some simple scripts and left the $ off and it doesn’t seem to make any difference. Can someone please explain the use of the $? I’m sure its very simple.
Does anyone know where I can get more detailed information on the scripting language apart from the scripting manual?
