Hi

I'm writing a script to add a structure group and also configure the structure group using the scripting. Similar to the post here:

https://support.lumerical.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034924093-addstructuregroup-Script-command

In the above link there is a code (posted in following) where the script is created and passed to the structure group.

myscript =      "addcircle; 
";
myscript = myscript + "copy(1e-6); 
";
myscript = myscript + "selectall; 
";
myscript = myscript + "set("radius",radius);";
set("script",myscript); 

However, I'm wondering if there is a better way to set this script instead of writing "myscript = myscript + " ABC" "

To be more clear I'm looking for something like following:

myscript = begin{

ABC;

DEF;

GHI;

}end

in both Matlab and Python such coding is possible. I believe there was another example on lumerical website where we write code to Model object using the way that I want; However, I cannot find it anymore.

Would it be possible to help me?

Thank you very much

I am not aware of the direct way you mentioned.
The way to cascade "my script" is to have one script file, with "\" to separate lines.
We have similar method to execute Matlab code in Lumerical script: https://support.lumerical.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034407974-matlab
but not for groups. All online examples use the same method:
adduserprop - Script command
addstructuregroup - Script command
runsetup - Script command
