Button to start an external script file

Submitted by br0t on Thu, 2010-11-25 13:19

Heyho,
I do have an attribute holder on a control object, which has a custom attribute definition with a button in it. I would like to use the button to start up an external script file, but I cannot find out how. I need something like this:

on btn_script pressed do
(    
"if external script can be found, execute it now"
)

Guess its not such big of a deal, but err...help needed^^
Regards

that include wont work as you

that include wont work as you gotta define the path directly after the call not a ref var
at least in the past it was like that ;)

FileIn or Include

(
   local scrFile = "script.ms"
 
-- using FileIn():
   on btn_script pressed do
      (if doesFileExist scrFile do FileIn scrFile)
 
-- using Include():
   on btn_script pressed do
   (if doesFileExist scrFile do include scrFile)
 
)
