Invoking a script from another script

RSantana — Thu, 07 Sep 2023 15:37:45 GMT

I am always delighted with how much is learned through these forums, so quick question: Is there a way to invoke a script from another script? I have a long script that I use to retrieve data. Sometimes I run a second script with instructions on how to visualize the dataset (both scripts are in the same folder). Is there a way that from script A I could invoke script B?

I would like to set script A to generate a pop-up window that will prompt me: "Visualize the data? Y/N".

Thanks everyone!!

Take a look at Include() function and Scripting Guide > Programming Methods > Advanced Programming Concepts > Include a Script
