Basic language scripter engine
24th of November 2025
We’re excited to announce that FileMover now supports BASIC scripting alongside our existing Pascal scripting language. This addition reflects our commitment to making FileMover accessible to users of all skill levels while maintaining the power and flexibility that advanced users love.
Why BASIC?
BASIC’s straightforward syntax makes automation more approachable for users new to scripting, while its familiar structure allows experienced administrators with VBScript or Visual Basic backgrounds to hit the ground running. Many IT professionals have used BASIC-style languages throughout their careers, and this addition lets them leverage that existing knowledge.
Choose What Works for You
Both scripting languages provide full access to FileMover’s capabilities. Use Pascal when you need maximum performance and advanced features, or choose BASIC for quick automation tasks and simpler logic. You can even use both languages in different rules within the same configuration.
Existing Users
If you’re already using Pascal scripting, nothing changes – your scripts continue to work exactly as before. BASIC is simply an additional option when you need it.
We believe giving you choice in how you automate your workflows makes FileMover a more versatile tool for your organization.
