Help with including a script

[TheDcoder]

Hello, I was browsing the help file (as recommend by many members) & I found out a new way to include a file

I am using this:

#include "...\Includes\StringSize.au3"

But I get this error: Error opening the file

I have already re-checked the filenames

 

Thanks in advance, TD

TheDcoder,

If the file is in the standard include folder, or the personal folder set up as explained in the Adding UDFs to AutoIt and SciTE tutorial in the Wiki, then there is no need to use a path at all.

And you can only use one (current folder) or two (parent folder) dots in a path - you are using three in that code!

Thanks Melba

I got confused with this:

  Quote

Description for "filename" parameter from the help file:

If "..." is used, the filename is taken to be relative to the current script.

TheDcoder,

In that particular case the 3 dots are just shorthand for the include filename. Surrounding the name with either quotes or <> determines the order in which AutoIt searches for the file in the 2 folders I mentioned above - nothing to do with the path itself.

I got it now
