RemObjects Pascal Script
The free scripting engine for Delphi
Pascal Script Facts
Pascal Script is a widely-used set of components for Delphi that makes it easy
to add Pascal-based scripting support to your applications, so that they can
extend or control your application with custom scripts.

Pascal Script is a free scripting engine that allows you to use most of the
Object Pascal language within your Delphi or Free Pascal projects at runtime.
Written completely in Delphi, it is composed of a set of units that can be
compiled into your executable, eliminating the need to distribute any external
files. Pascal Script started out as a need for a good working script, when there
were none available at the time.
Why use a scripting engine?
A scripting engine allows an end user to customize an application to his or her
needs without having to recompile it. In addition, you can update your
applications by just sending a new script file that could even be compiled to
byte code, which cannot easily be transformed back to source code.
Pascal Script includes the following features:
Variables, Constants
Standard language constructs:
Begin/End
If/Then/Else
For/To/Downto/Do
Case x Of
Repeat/Until
While
Uses
Exit
Continue
Break
Functions inside the script
Calling any external DLL function (no special function headers required)
Calling registered external methods
All common types like Byte, Shortint, Char, Word, SmallInt, Cardinal, Longint,
Integer, String, Real, Double, Single, Extended, Boolean, Array, Record,
Enumerations, Variants
Allows the importing and use of classes, with events, properties, methods and
constructors
Allows the importing and use of interface and their members
Allows IDispatch dynamic method invocation through Variant
Assignment of script functions to Delphi events
Uses byte code as an intermediate format and allows storing and reloading
compiled scripts
Easy to use component version
Support for include files
Support for compiler defines
Capability to call RemObjects SDK Services from within scripts
Pascal Script includes a tool to create headers for importing classes and
interfaces
History
Pascal Script started out in 2001 with CajScript 1.0, which was soon superseded
by CajScript 2.0 (Later called Innerfuse Pascal Script 2.0). Version 2.0
interpreted scripts while it ran them, which had the disadvantage that every
piece of code had to be reparsed every time the script engine went over it. With
Pascal Script 3.0, this was changed to a new model, where the compiler and
runtime were completely separated from each other and used a custom byte code
format to represent the compiled script. This compiled script only contained the
bare minimum that was required to execute the code. Later, when Carlo Kok joined
RemObjects, it was renamed RemObjects Pascal Script and is now being maintained
by RemObjects Software.
One prominent use of Pascal Script is the Open Source InnoSetup project.
InnoSetup is a widely used setup engine that uses Pascal Script as scripting
engine to provide advanced scripting abilities during installation and
uninstallation. Using Pascal Script, users can customize almost all parts of the
setup, add new wizard pages, call into dlls to add advanced features and provide
custom behavior and install conditions.
PascalScript is also leveraged extensively by our own Data Abstract for Delphi
to provide business rules scripting.

You can also access the latest version of PS directly in our open-source SVN
version control system, at code.remobjects.com. Note that this option is for
advanced users only; we recommend that you use the installable distribution
available at the link above. That said, all the latest changes are available
through SVN first, so SVN is a good option to stay on the cutting edge.
Supported Tools and Platforms
Pascal Script supports Delphi 4 through 7 and Delphi 2006 through 2009, as well
as the latest Free Pascal 2.x.
Supported Platforms are Win32 Ansi and Unicode (Delphi + FPC), Win64 (FPC),
Linux x86 (FPC) and Linux x64 (FPC).
