How to include script using relative path?

miguello
Level VI

I have two scripts, main.jsl and dosomething.jsl that are next to each other in the same folder.

Main script has this in it:

relativePath = "./";absolutePath = "c:\Users\myUser\Scripts\";dosomething = Expr(
Include( relativePath || "dosomething.jsl" )
);

This dosomething does something all over the script, it's very handy to edit dosomething.jsl WHILE still running the main script.

So, when I do that using relativePath as written above - JMP crushes. But works fine when using absolutePath.

 

Now, I don't want to use absolute path. How can I use relative path in Include statement?

For instance, this works fine for Logo.png that lies next to these two scripts:

Picture Box( Open( "./Logo.png", png ) )

If relative paths not working with Include, is there any way to access the absolute path for the currently running script?

Re: How to include script using relative path?

And again, formulating and writing down the question gave me an idea where to look for the answer.

So this works:

 

relativePath = Get Default Directory();
absolutePath = "c:\Users\myUser\Scripts\";dosomething = Expr(
Include( relativePath || "dosomething.jsl" )
);
