_section: Sandbox Utility
The sandbox utility provides a simple way to use the most common
ethers utilities required during learning, debuging and managing
interactions with the Ethereum network.
If no command is given, it will enter a REPL interface with many
of the ethers utilities already exposed.

_heading: Scripting @<cliex-scripting>
The ``eval`` command can be used to execute simple one-line scripts from
the command line to be passed into other commands or stored in script
environment variables.
_code: @lang<shell>
# Get the formatted balance of an account
/home/ethers> ethers --network ropsten --account wallet.json eval 'accounts[0].getBalance().then(b => formatEther(b))'

_heading: Using Mnemonics (with a password) @<cliex-mnemonicpassword>
All mnemonic phrases have a password, but the default is to use the empty
string (i.e. ``""``) as the password. If you have a password on your
mnemonic, the ``-\-mnemonic-password`` will prompt for the password to
use to decrypt the account.
_code: @lang<shell>
/home/ricmoo> ethers --account public-mnemonic.txt --mnemonic-password
Password (mnemonic): ******

homestead> accounts[0].getAddress()

homestead>
_heading: Using Mnemonics (with experimental memory-hard passwords) @<cliex-mnemonicpassword-xxx>
The ``-\-xxx-mnemonic-password`` is similar to the ``-\-mnemonic-password`` options,
which uses a password to decrypt the account for a mnemonic, however it passes
the password through the [scrypt](link-wiki-scrypt)
//password-based key derivation function// first, which is intentionally slow and makes
a brute-force attack far more difficult.
_code: @lang<shell>
/home/ricmoo> ethers --account mnemonic.txt --xxx-mnemonic-password
Password (mnemonic; experimental - hard): ******

_warning: Note
This is still an experimental feature (hence the ``xxx``).
