The //Script condition// executes a script and checks the result.

The script can be in a file or text within the application, and can be:

* an AppleScript.
* a Shell script.
* a Swift script.
* a JavaScript for Automation (JXA) script.
* a JavaScript in Front Browser script (v9.0+).

For text AppleScript or JavaScript, press `Enter` to format the script (v10.0+).

You can test the result of executing the script:

* returns success (that is, the script ran without errors).
* returns an error (the script returned some sort of error code).
* returns a specific status code (unlike almost all other numeric fields, this cannot be a calculation).
* returns not text. (v8+)
* returns some text. (v8+)
* returns text that is exactly (case insensitively) a specified string.
* returns text that is not exactly (case insensitively) a specified string.
* returns text that contains (case insensitively) a specified string.
* returns text that does not contain (case insensitively) a specified string.
* returns text that starts with (case insensitively) a specified string. (v8+)
* returns text that ends with (case insensitively) a specified string. (v8+)
* returns text that is alphabetically before a specified string. (v7.2+)
* returns text that is alphabetically after a specified string. (v7.2+)
* returns text that is matches a specified [[:Regular Expressions|regular expression]].
* returns text that is does not matches a specified [[:Regular Expressions|regular expression]].
* returns text that is numerically less than a specified calculation. (v8+)
* returns text that is numerically less than or equal to a specified calculation. (v8+)
* returns text that is numerically equal to a specified calculation. (v8+)
* returns text that is numerically greater than or equal to a specified calculation. (v8+)
* returns text that is numerically greater than a specified calculation. (v8+)
* returns text that is numerically not equal to a specified calculation. (v8+)

The script will receive the Keyboard Maestro variables in its environment as usual for any executed script in Keyboard Maestro.
