dcyuri7 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) I am curious if you can, alike C++, include from a parent directory? I cannot get it to work, so I assume not. But is there another way to accomplish the same task?For instance:Directory "Bleh" contains two folders - Folder "apple" and folder "orange".Inside "Bleh", I have test.au3 script, that includes "apple.au3" from inside the "apple" folder, thats all this script does.Inside "apple.au3" (included from "test.au3"), I am trying to: #include "..\orange\orange.au3" , which doesn't pass the interpreter whatsoever, just says "Can't open include file". -- Yes I could move the orange folder into the apple folder, and call #include "orange/orange.au3", BUT that isn't what I want. I need to be able to include from a parent directory.Any ideas or suggestions? I'm trying to make my program more modular, but without 'nesting include files' using directories, I'll just have one include folder with a massive amount of include files( for my project that is, not the above example).Thanks in advance,Yuri Edited July 9, 2008 by dcyuri7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcyuri7 Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) Try this: #include "...\orange\orange.au3" Thanks for quick reply. I tried that before posting acutally, just after reading the autoit help file on #include. But it still returns the same error, And im positive the files are in the correct location btw. muttley *EDIT I tried my example, and using "../orange/orange.au3" works perfectly. So I must be doing something else wrong. Gimmie a sec, gonna try and find my fault, sorry for posting a redundant thread lol.

But it still returns the same error, And im positive the files are in the correct location btw. muttleyThat's the proper way to do it... so if it still isn't working, you could always try this:There is a special registry value that can be created at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AutoIt v3\AutoIt" called "Include". It should be a REG_SZ (string) value. The contents of this value are a semi-colon delimited list of directories that should be searched for files when resolving #include's in addition to the standard locations.

dcyuri7 Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) Sweet, thanks a ton. muttley *Edit, registry way works perfect. Just a simple RegWrite, and smooth nesting of includes. hehe Thanks again Edited July 9, 2008 by dcyuri7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styles3000 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 That's the proper way to do it... so if it still isn't working, you could always try this:I try to go into the registry to add the file needed to properly use my #include folder like in the example with how you helped out "dcyuri7". But when I follow the path HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AutoIt v3\ I don't see the AutoIt Folder at all .Instead, all I see is this a ....AU3Info Folder and the Aut2Exe Folder. What should a man do in this predicament? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
