Include

[Ram]

I have written a function where I need to call another au3 file which is different directory.

Simple way: I can put

#include<path and test.au3>

but what happens If I don;t know the path. Is there any way to use @scriptDir or something like that in #include<> so that I don't need to enter the full path or different directory path in include all the time.... I actually tried @scriptdir didn't work? Can any one help me out with this?

I do believe that the #include will look in both the \autoit\includes folder as well as the @scriptdir folder....

so if test.au3 is in the @scriptdir folder then

#include<"test.au3">

should work fine

If it's in the script directory... try doing:

#include "MyInclude.au3"

If it's in the script directory... try doing:

#include "MyInclude.au3"

Nope didn't work..

for e.g script directory is in

c:\Scripttest\mainscript.au3

and the include script is in

c:\scripttest\test\script.au3

hence as of now I have typed in the mainsscript.au3 as

#include <"c:\scripttest\test\script.au3">

Now I am looking for something like

#include <@scriptDir & "\test\script.au3">

because I am not sure with the main directory folder name...It can be changed any time. So I don't want to keep editing the directory everytime.. Is this possible in #include?

You can't use variables or macros as first parameter of FileInstall and you can't with #include either.

filename

The filename of the current script to include. Path is optional. This must be a string--it cannot be a variable.

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

If <...> is used the filename is taken to be relative to include library directory (usually C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include). The include library contains many pre-written user-functions for you to use!

(is this a "In your face" moment )

#include ".\test\testing.au3"

Edit:

In all fairness, he did say "Variable" or "Macro" which is correct.

#include <"c:\scripttest\test\script.au3">

Should that not be this?

#include "c:\scripttest\test\script.au3"

haha, no no.. I'm only allowed to be rude to people once a day. Besides, I took that from the help file
