.. _auto_custom_script:

*CUSTOM SCRIPT*
===============

Executes a user-supplied script (Python, MATLAB, PHP, or native executable) inline within a workflow node, passing arbitrary arguments and returning a vector output. Use this worker when a standard transformation does not exist and custom scripting logic is needed to process or generate data.

When to use
-----------

Classification: **process**.

Tagged: ``custom_script``, ``exe``, ``inline_code``, ``matlab``, ``php``, ``process``, ``python``, ``scripting``.

     - 
     - Script language / runtime to use; choose one of 'Python', 'Matlab', 'PHP', or 'EXE' (native executable) — defaults to 'count' (no runtime) when left unset.
   * - Code Value
     - code_value
     - text

     - Full source code (or path to executable) to run; enter the complete script body as a text string, or supply the file path when type is 'EXE'.
   * - Arguments
     - arguments
     - vector
     - —
     - 
     - Ordered list of arguments passed to the script at runtime; repeatable vector fields — add one entry per positional argument (e.g. input file paths, numeric parameters).
