note

In an AutoIt script, other scripts can be included using the #include" command.

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

#include<funca.au3> must be placed in the running autoit versions \include folder

Please help immediately.

Yes master, I'll get right on it

A little rude don't you think, and not even a 'Thank You'.

There are 3 things you need to learn before requesting 'immediate' help

• ALWAYS show your code and be specific with your questions.
• ALWAYS read the help file and/or search the forums before posting.
• NEVER act like you deserve to have a code wrote for you.

Following these guidelines when posting will get you both quicker and more accurate results Plus more respect on the forum

Anyway,

To include a script, simply copy it in the include directory of the autoit3 folder in Program Files

Then call it like this:

#Include <*YourScript.au3*>

Otherwise, as said before, call an include with the full path to the target file

;This file is present in c:\scripts folder

script1.au3

Func Myfunction()

msgbox(0,"r","hi")

Endfunc

;I have another script in d:\scripts folder

script2.au3

#include"script1.au3"

Myfunction()

When I executes script2.au3, it gives error "function not found" and also I dont want give full path of script1.au3 in #include,

I hope this clears the problem

Well then, You have 2 choices

• Take a copy of the script to be included and put it in your include folder(C:\Program Files\Autoit3\Include)
• copy the contents of the script to be included into you other script

Paulie... there is the one additional choice

include"filename.au3"

the OP should look at the help file for "inlude"

Agreed,

there is a link to an online one in my previous post (#5)

HI,

I would say no, because it works for me, this way #include<funca.au3> (when saved in same folder).

and this way anytime.

#include<c:\Downloads\AutoIt-Skripte\Entwicklung\ForumTests\funca.au3>
a()

Still left:

Maybe you could explain how to use two funcs in two scripts with same name :">

.....otherwise you need the complete path like: c:\ ....

Edit:

If your include folder in "D:\scripts" is a permanent main usage include folder for any script, then SciteConfig in Scite4AutoIt3 has an option to add an additional include folder into registry so AutoIt3 may look there for includes also as well as the standard includes.
