How did you start learning Mikrotik scripts?

Question

Mikrotik

I like the equipment, but I would like to delve into the scripts (at the moment there are no goals, just for a good understanding).
Actually, the question is where / how is it better to start acquaintance with scripts, start with wiki.mikrotik.com, or maybe there is a resource site dedicated to this topic?
Interested in personal experience.

Answer 1

The most efficient way is to find other people's scripts and parse them line by line. Of course, before that, re-read wiki/Manual:Scripting 2-3 times .
I wrote a script for FreeDNS.afraid.org with far from being a programmer . It took me several days. Lots of hours. People with a programmer mindset would do the same thing in 20-30 minutes.
Here are my notes.
For debugging:
put - displays the value of the variable,
$ - means that this is a variable,
gvar - the name of the variable. (ANY)
find out the IP of the domain
get the current IP of the WAN interface
deleting files by part of the file name
