Calling a function from a file

[DoctorX]

Is it possible to call a function from an external file that contains the name of the function? For example, say I have a file called "ExternalFile.txt" and the first line of the file contains the text "MyFunction".

Now, what I want to do is to call a function named "MyFunction" in the script. I could do so like this...

$file = FileOpen ("ExternalFile.txt", 0)
    $function = FileReadLine ($file, 1)
    FileClose $file

            If $function = "MyFunction" Then
                MyFunction ()
            EndIf


    Func MyFunction ()
        MsgBox (0, "", "MyFunction Entered")
    EndFunc

But that seems rather redundant, and would get to be impractical when the actual external file contains many function names. What I would rather do is something like this:

$file = FileOpen ("ExternalFile.txt", 0)
    $function = FileReadLine ($file, 1)
    FileClose $file

        $function ()

    Func MyFunction ()
        MsgBox (0, "", "MyFunction Entered")
    EndFunc

Which of course, will not work but hopefully gives you an idea of what I'm trying to do. Is this possible at all?

Is the Call() function what you're after?

Ah, yes. That'll do it. Don't know how I missed that in the help file. Thanks again Alex.
