[SOLVED] @ScriptLineNumber and @ScriptName

[jaberwacky 329]

I did some minor preliminary searching before posting this but I didn't find anything. Please forgive me if this question has been asked.

I noticed that @ScriptLineNumber returns the line number of the au3 file in which the macro is located, however @ScriptName returns the name of the top level script.

For instance:

Script1.au3

#include <Script2.au3>

ConsoleWrite(@ScriptLineNumber & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite(@ScriptName & @CRLF)

Script2.au3

ConsoleWrite(@ScriptLineNumber & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite(@ScriptName & @CRLF)

Console:

1
Script1.au3
3
Script1.au3

Is that intended? If so then should I ask for a macro that will give the name of the script in which the macro is located?

#include is a preprocessor statement which makes the code inside of that included file to be merged into a single file before the actual running of the script.

The marco's return the scriptline number from the merged scriptcode and the included filenames are not know anymore.

Oh duh. I knew that.

Seriously, thanks for the fast reply and clarification.
