hi,

i wanna check if a script in the same folder already exists an if so include it, if not create it.


Code:


  if @file(test.dsc)
    #INCLUDE test.dsc
   else
    bla bla ...
  end




the compiler gives an error "can not open test.dsc"

any ideas?

Maybe try this:

Code:
if @greater(@file(@path(%0)test.dsc,z),0)
    #INCLUDE test.dsc
   else
    bla bla ...
  end

thank you, but still the same.

i'm afraid the preprocessor isn't able, to evaluate the condition.
hopefully i'm wrong with that.

greetings Confused

You cannot do conditional #INCLUDES...

#INCLUDE is a pre-compiled directive. The IF command is a compiled instruction. I have placed this in the Wish List but Jules said that he could not make that happen and did not see any reason too either Confused

I suggest that #IF, #ELSE, #END pre-compiled directives be added to the VDS language.

Here is my original post on this subject...
