NAME
       epgsearchuservars.conf - User defined variables

DESCRIPTION
       In this file you can defines variables which then can be used in
       epgsearch in any play where variables are possible.

SYNTAX
       Variables looks like %Variablename%.

       "Variablename" can be consist of any alphanumerical character. Space
       and special characters are not allowed.

       The variable names are case-insensitive.

       Examples for possible names:

        %Series% %DocuVar1% %ThemesSubtitleDate1%

       Assignment

        %Series%=New series~Thriller

       The variable %Series% will be assigned with the string "New
       series~Thriller".

       Assignments are always strings. Spaces stay spaces.

        %Path%=%Series%

       The variable %Path% gets the content of the variable %Series%.

       You can do nearly everything:

        %Path%=%Serie%~Lost

       The variable %Path% contains now the string "New series~Thriller~Lost".

       Control structures

       You can use simple "if then else" constructions.

       These constructions cannot contain strings, only variables.  Spaces are
       ignored.

        %Foo%=Other

        %Variable%=%Path% ? %Path% : %Foo%

       If %Path% is not empty, assign the content of %Path% to %Variable%,
       otherwise the content of %Foo%.

       "%Path% ?" means "not empty?". You can use other checks.

        %Variable%=%Path%!=5 ? %Path% : %Foo%

       "%Path%!=5 ?" means "is %Path% equal 5?"

       You can also compare variables.

        %Five%=5

        %Variable%=%Path%!=%Five% ? %Path% : %Foo%

       Other possible checks:

        ==   equal
        !=   not equal

       Calling a system command

       You can call external commands. The returned string will be assigned to
       a variable

        %Result%=system(scriptname,%Variable1% %Variable2% -f %Variable3% --dir=%Variable4% --dummy)

       Calls the script "scriptname" with the parameters "%Variable1%",
       "%Variable2%", etc. The result will be stored in %Result%.

       You can use as many variables as you want.

       If needed, epgsearch will quote the variable.

       The script must return a string without line break!

       If the script returns nothing, an empty string will be assigned to the
       Variable %Result%.
