Salut Jussi,

no, not only for math, even at http://gambasdoc.org/help/lang/eval 
it is shown.

And that works :
  gbx2 -e "Format(Date(), \"yyyymmdd\")" 
  
  gbx2 -e "iif(1=2,True,False)" 
  
  gbx2 -e "\"/tmp/testArchivCopy_\" & Format(Date(), \"yyyymmdd\")"

I have to pass it as a String, if not the / is seen as the math /.

Thanks anyway.
