Nested Includes

[dcyuri7]

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

Try this:

#include "...\orange\orange.au3"

[dcyuri7]

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.

That'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.

Sweet, thanks a ton. muttley

*Edit, registry way works perfect. Just a simple RegWrite, and smooth nesting of includes. hehe Thanks again

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?
