Ok this is going to sound very noobish coming from a veteran like me, but…

When I include a file for my script is there a way to include a file that is in the same path as my script?

I obviously tried {.include ScriptPath/myincludetothescript.scar}

so anyone want to help this old dog out?

or is this not possible lol.

{.include MyIncludeToTheScript.scar} works for me.

lol it should.

Lets say my include is stuck in a folder.
I dont know what folder it is in, but I know its in the same folder as the script being ran.

how do I include it now?

or what if the include is on my desktop? :p.

Well I know there is 'ScriptPath' but I never tried it to include a file. I was actually curious about this myself.

Lol so I tried script path and what an epic fail that was lol…

Include file C:\Program Files\SCAR\includes\ScriptPath\myinclude.scar does not exist.

LOL, soooo any help?

{.include YourIncludeFile.scar} works if the include is in the same folder as your script. Not sure about it being on your desktop though, you'd need the path of your desktop which changes for each OS w/e.

Also 'ScriptPath' is a function so you wont' be able to use it in compiler directives (ie including files).

Indeed this works no matter where the files are as long as they are in the same place. (just tested)

Ya… my attempt seems to agree with that statement…

I have a solution in mind…

I need to know if there is a way to include a file from somewhere outside the include folder… and how…


or


if there is a way to include a file that you have no idea where it's located, just that its in the same path as the script you wanna run.

ok Ill try :p.

File 1: named test.simba

procedure hi;
begin
  writeln('hi');
end;

File 2:

{$i test.simba}

begin
  hi;
end.   

Save them both in same place, run file 2…

I got it working.

Lol looks like ima have to switch to simba.
I still run scar :p.

You can also use a direct file path:

{.include C:\Users\Erik\Desktop\test2.scar}

I think he wants it setup so its universal.
