Include – Compilation





Include Function


Usage

The Include function includes the specified source file into the current script.

Syntax

Include "<source_filename>"

Parameters

  • <source_filename>: The source script to be included into the main script at compilation. If the included script is in the same directory as the main script, the full path is not necessary; if not, you must specify the full path for the included script (e.g., "C:\program files\my_scripts\my_script.src"). Relative paths are allowed: Include ".\sub1\sub1script1.src".

Remarks

If you use multiple Include lines, you have to ensure that the full long script with those inclusions maintains the correct program structure: first the Dim lines, second the Functions and Subs definitions, and last the main program. You also need to ensure that all the Subs/Functions are declared before using them in another Function/Sub. Ensure that there are no duplicate names, and for maintenance ease, it is recommended to use different parameter names within the different Functions/Subs.
