REPROCESSING
The preprocessing command
%include
can be used to insert the contents of a file
into a script. It has the effect of copying and pasting the file into the code. Using
%include
allows the user to create modular script files that can then be incorpo-
rated into a script. This way, commands can easily be located and reused.
The syntax for
%include
is this:
%include “includefile.inc”
The quotation marks around the filename are required, and by convention, the
included file has a
.inc
extension.
The filenames given in the include directive are always treated as being relative to
the current file being parsed. So, if a file is referenced via the preprocessing
command in a .dec file, and no path information is provided (
%include “file.inc”
),
the application will try to load the file from the current directory. Files that are in a
directory one level up from the current file can be referenced using
“..\file.inc”
,
and likewise, files one level down can be referenced using the relative pathname
(
“directory\file.inc”
). Last but not least, files can also be referred to using a full
pathname, such as
“C:\global_scripts\include\file.inc”
.
If a file is not found in current directory, application will try to find it in shared
directory Scripts\Shared\.
