# Load the JavaScript from a file.
sbScript = Chilkat::CkStringBuilder.new()
success = sbScript.LoadFile("js_eval_return_string.js","utf-8")
if (success == false)
    print sbScript.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit

js = Chilkat::CkJs.new()
result = Chilkat::CkJsonObject.new()

# Run the JavaScript
# Eval returns the completion value of the script. This is generally the value of the last evaluated expression.
# In this case, the last evaluated expression is a string.
success = js.Eval(sbScript,result)
if (success == false)
    print js.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit

result.put_EmitCompact(false)
print result.emit() + "\n";
