SlideScript can do simple every day shell tasks like manipulating and working with files, and directories, piping, variable support, and backquoting, with a bit of spice like: built-in md5, and encoder / decoder, webserver, networking functions, tar and compression functions, PLUS MORE!" />

	<p>Now that most of the basic built-in functions are aware, time to 
	start playing with some of the more interesting parts of SlideScript.
	SlideScript does indeed seem more shell-like than anything but has its
	own unique abilities unlike other scripting languages.</p>
	
	<h2>Loop, comp, and if(n) statements</h2>
	<p>
	You can indeed compare values / process based on what's found around.
	For example, file functions like isdir and isfile return a true or false
	based on what they find. These returns can be used by some of the
	statement handling built into SlideScript's lexer.<br />
	<b>if(n):</b>
<pre><code>
#!/usr/bin/slidescript
# Using isfile/isdir and if/ifn for determining when something needs to be done
doesitexist=`isfile "test.txt"` # returns 0 / false
ifn: %doesitexist%; write "test.txt" "created..." # If false, write
if: %doesitexist%; cat "test.txt" "adding to file..." # if true, catenate
</code></pre>
	<b>comp(are):</b>
<pre><code>
#!/usr/bin/slidescript
# Using compare and if/ifn for determining if a string is similar or different
string1=Testing strings
string2=String testings
match=`comp: "%string1%" "%string2%"` 
ifn: %match%; print "Different" # If false, different
if: %match%; print "Same" # if true, same
</code></pre>
	<b>loop:</b>
<pre><code>
#!/usr/bin/slidescript
# Using compare and if/ifn for determining when something needs to be done
count=5
loop: %count%; print "Printing %count% times..."
</code></pre>
	</p>

    <h2>Other system functions</h2>
    <p>
    SlideScript is a list of other functions that can be used at a given time 
    or place: time, and sleep.
<pre><code>
#!/usr/bin/slidescript
# Time example:
time

# Sleep example:
sleep "3"
print "Will print after 3 seconds..."
</code></pre>
