You can experiment with the evaluator using the [[:additional_functionality:cli]] tool.

Open it via **Opus CLI / Ad-Hoc Script Editor** in the main window's **Tools** menu. At the bottom of the CLI, turn on **Script Interpreter** and use the drop-down to select **Evaluator** as the language.

Here's the code in the screenshot in a format you can copy and paste:

<code>
str = "Text in a string";
Output(Match(str, "^text.*string$", "r"));
Output(Match(str, "^text.*str$", "r"));
Output(" ");

name = "Job-19230-20230605-XE.xlsx";
Output(jobdate = RegEx(name, "Job-(.+)-(.+)-(..).xlsx", "\2"));
Output(jobdate = Left(jobdate, 4) + "-" + Mid(jobdate, 4, 2) + "-" + Right(jobdate, 2));
Output(jobdate As date);
Output(" ");

return "Hello World";
</code>
