How to use @DesktopCommonDir?

[evg64]

I can`t understand how to use @DesktopCommonDir.

I tried some variants:

#include "@DesktopCommonDir\MyFile.au3"

or

#include "@DesktopCommonDir&\MyFile.au3"

But all of them doesnt work. MyFile.au3 exists on my Desktop.

#include <@Desktopdir&"filename.au3">

?

First of all:) @DesktopCommonDir is used to get to the Desktop:)

Lets make it that you want the script to make a .ini file at the desktop, then you write

IniWrite(@DesktopCommondir & "\Settings.ini", "Main","Data", "")

When you execute the script it will make a Ini file with the name "Settings.ini" on the desktop. Check the Helpfile for Macro's and you will find what the different "@"-items is used for:)

the @-macros arent used in "#include" just place the .au3 file as far as i know:)

Hope it helped:)

Its Better To Use @DesktopDir Then @DesktopCommonsDir I've had problems in the past using it...but if you want to write to a file? go ahead...and for #Include...you Dont use the macro @(blah) you just put #Include "File.au3" and it comes from where ever the script is..basically...@ScriptDir...hope this helps.

But what if the script will be executed on another computer, where the is the same file on desktop? Just to write path like

#include "path to desktop\MyFile.au3"

won`t work, here must be used @DesktopCommonDir macro, but how exactly to use it?

You can't use variables in the include path...
