String Computation Program (scam) is a small, yet powerful compiled language created for the sole purpose of text processing. Using a minimal character set, scam allows a program to interpret and process string tokens. Adapting a hand-chosen blend of features from PERL, Python, and awk scripting languages, scam uses shorthand notation to denote relationships between strings. Key components of the scam language include variables, arrays, functions, control statements, strings, and integers. Simply put, scam may be used to compute algorithms on string data. The language itself does not include any algorithms to process this data beyond Boolean comparison operators. Rather than include processing rules in the language itself, scam provides the ability to access included data structures and their respective attributes so that you as the developer can create your own rules.
