Add Contents of script file as New Script to data table

I have a saved jmp script.  Let's call it my_graph.jsl.  I want to take that script and add it to my current data table as a New Script().  I know that

dt << New Script(scriptname, code)

will add a new script to the data table.  But it's not clear to me how to get the contents of my_graph.jsl and dump it in there.  I've tried playing around with Load Text File() but then I'm not sure what to do with that.  I imagine the solution will involve some combination of Eval/Expr/Eval Expr but honestly I've never wrapped my head around the order of those that make sense

Re: Add Contents of script file as New Script to data table

Here is one more option using Include(, << Parse Only)

 

Names Default To Here(1);

script_path = "$DOWNLOADS/table_script.jsl";

txt = "Graph Builder(
	Size(525, 454),
	Show Control Panel(0),
	Variables(X(:weight), Y(:height), Color(:sex)),
	Elements(Points(X, Y, Legend(5)))
);";

Save Text File(script_path, txt);
txt = "";


dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");
Eval(EvalExpr(
	dt << New Script("Plot Graph", Expr(Include(script_path, << Parse Only)))
));

Re: Add Contents of script file as New Script to data table

Yep, that's a twisty one

 

maybe something like this?

obj=open("/Users/bywing/Byron Wingerd/Examples/eraseme.jsl");
stuff=obj<<get text;

dt=new table("Target");
ex=expr(dt<< new script("Stuffing", "XX" ));
substitute into( ex, "XX", parse(nameexpr(stuff)));
eval(ex);
