script is a console command in all 
Source games since 
Left 4 Dead 2 that have a 
Squirrel implementation of VScript[confirm], namely these.
Description
It executes Squirrel code from the root table.
Note:The code can contain spaces but it cannot contain semicolons (;) because the developer console considers semicolons as delimiters for commands.Note:Since the code is not executed from an entity's script scope and not in response to I/O, one can most likely not execute code that calls the variables activator, caller or self. Workaround:Define the variables as needed temporarily, e.g. script ::activator <- Entities.FindByClassname(null, "player").Syntax
script <code>
Example
script printl( GetMapName() )
Should print the name of the current map in the console in most games.
