Import common lines of code into an Autoit program

[keashdoc]

Hi,

I have multiple Auto-it scripts that have about 20 lines of code in the beginning that is the same.  Is there any way to save this common code into a separate file and then somehow import the common code into the individual Auto-It scripts? 

Thanks

You could save the code to its own .au3 Script file and place it in a specific directory and then just put at the top of your other scripts,

#include "My Scripts\SpecialScript.au3"

depending on where you save your script, whether in the same folder, same folder inside of a folder, or a totally different folder the path will need to change. The help file for #Include should explain it well.

if it's just to avoid typing, you can use Abbrev Manager
