-======= Functions =======
-All these functions will manipulate character strings to fit your needs. Functions can use into conditional node and populate variable node and keep the result in a variable.
-There are 3 groups of functions :\\
-  -[[functions:character_string_functions|Character String Functions]]
-  -[[functions:mathematics_functions|Mathematics functions]]
-  -**Others functions**
-------
-====== Others Functions ======
-===== $exists =====
-  * This is a file function that will tell if file(s) exists. Returns the amount of files found and and 0 if it there is no match.
-Usage:\\
-$exists(input string = "string/%variable%")
-$exists("C:\Windows\explorer.exe")  {{:functions:FFAStrans_compute.jpg?nolink&120|}}  1
-$exists("C:\Windows\system32\win*")  {{:functions:FFAStrans_compute.jpg?nolink&120|}}  98
------------------------------
-===== $base64 =====
-TODO: seems to be broke currently
--------
-===== $jsonencode and $jsonget=====
-  * $jsonencode : Converts the input string to an JSON friendly string.
-Note that this does not produce any JSON data structure but one can use the result as a "Value" in a JSON data structure.
-This can be used in order to produce a JSON string for further automatic processing, e.g. send a POST request to some 3rdparty API using the HTTP Request processor. Or to write a JSON File using the Write File processor.
-  * $jsonget : Retrieves the value from a JSON object key. The first argumenst accept a string or a variable representing a valid JSON string. In the second section you refer to the object/key/array you want to get.
-Usages:\\
-$jsonencode(input string = "string/%variable%")
-$jsonget(input string = "string/%variable%"[, input string = "string/%variable%"])
-$jsonencode("D:\My\Media\folder")  {{:functions:FFAStrans_compute.jpg?nolink&120|}}  D:\\My\\Media\\folder
-$jsonencode('Hello "World"')  {{:functions:FFAStrans_compute.jpg?nolink&120|}}}  Hello \"World\"
-$jsonget('{"things":{"myStuff":"some other stuff"}}', "things.myStuff")  {{:functions:FFAStrans_compute.jpg?nolink&120|}}  some other stuff
-$jsonget('%s_info_ffprobe%', '[1].format_name')  {{:functions:FFAStrans_compute.jpg?nolink&120|}}
- mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2
-------------------------
-===== $readarray =====
-  * Returns an instance from a valid array which must be in the form of "["data", data, etc...]". All JSON formated data is valid. By default the function will return the first instance. If none is found it will return an empty string; "".
-This can be used in combination with another processor which generates JSON on output, for example loudness filter or in combination again with a HTTP Get processor that receives JSON data from a 3rdparty API.
-Usage:\\
-$readarray(input string = "string/%variable%"[, input integer = integer/%variable%])
-$readarray("[23, 55.5, 19]", 2)  {{:functions:FFAStrans_compute.jpg?nolink&120|}}  55.5
-$readarray('["make", "my", "day"]', 3)  {{:functions:FFAStrans_compute.jpg?nolink&120|}}  day
-------------------------
-===== $regext =====
-  * This is regular expression function. It extracts text based on recognition patterns. It uses the Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) engine. http://www.pcre.org/
-Usage :\\
-$regext(input string = "string/%variable%", pattern = "string/%variable%")
-$regext("<Duration value="1214"/>", "<Duration value="(\d+)"/>")  {{:functions:FFAStrans_compute.jpg?nolink&120|}}  1214
-$regext("TVShow_EP0013.mxf", "/(EP\d{4})/")  {{:functions:FFAStrans_compute.jpg?nolink&120|}}  EP0013\\
-----------------------
-===== $hex and $dec =====
-    * $hex : Converts a decimal integer to hexadecimal number.
-    * $dec : Converts a hexadecimal number to decimal integer. Function accepts both quoted and unquoted input.
-Usages : \\
-$hex(input integer = integer/%variable%)\\
-$dec(input string/integer = "string"/integer/%variable%)
-$hex(8)  {{:functions:FFAStrans_compute.jpg?nolink&120|}}  8
-$hex(15)  {{:functions:FFAStrans_compute.jpg?nolink&120|}}  f
-$dec(8) {{:functions:FFAStrans_compute.jpg?nolink&120|}}  8
-$dec("f")   {{:functions:FFAStrans_compute.jpg?nolink&120|}}  15
---------------------------
-===== $guid =====
-  * Returns a random GUID/UUID.
-Usage : \\
-$guid()
-$guid()  {{:functions:FFAStrans_compute.jpg?nolink&120|}}  bc067580-f7de-4e12-9f84-7e905bd60378
---------------------------
-===== $xxhash =====
-    * Returns an eight character hash for any file. Must include full path. The hash is created using Yann Collet's xxHash which is very fast and suits large video files.
-Usage : \\
-$xxhash(input string = "string/%variable%")
-$xxhash("x:\path\to\file.mxf")  {{:functions:FFAStrans_compute.jpg?nolink&120|}}  61abf926
--------------------------------------------
-===== $read =====
-  * $read : Reads the contents of a any text file. The function will automatically try to determine correct encoding. If storing as a variable the string length is **limited to approximately 80.000 characters**.
-$read("metadata.xml")  {{:functions:read_visual.jpg?nolink&320|}}
------------------------------
-===== $urlencode =====
-  * Converts the input string to an URL friendly string.
-Usage : \\
-$urlencode(input string = "string/%variable%")
-$urlencode("FFAStrans is #supercool!")  {{:functions:FFAStrans_compute.jpg?nolink&120|}}
- FFAStrans%20is%20%23supercool!
