firewalldevil,

The #include directive enables you to insert code from other files into your own script. The are lots of include files that are installed with AutoIt - go and look in "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include" - and these hold many of the functions used in scripts.

Just using #include on its own means nothing, which is why SciTE (or AutoIt3Wrapper to be more precise) fails on an error. You need to define a file to be included.

Look in the Help file under include for more help - and the correct syntax to use.

I'm writing a script that will have several include files. I want to put these in a subdirectory of the main script directory called 'include', and then include them like so:

#include @scriptdir & "\include\file_name.au3"

This way, if I ever move the script around, I don't have to go back in and manually change the path. However, I am getting the 'cannot parse include' message. Is it not possible to use @Scriptdir (or even variables) with #include?

#include "\include\file_name.au3"

[WorknMan]

#include "\include\file_name.au3"

Actually, it's:

#include "include\file_name.au3"

But close enough, thanks

Right you are. My mistake and I should have spotted it.
