How can I include external source in my listing ?

A command like "Include" c:\filename.xxx

to allow me to split the main listing into multiple files so I don't have to work
with 10,000 line at te same time...

And this way I can make shure I won't mess with completed subs.

I remember a table that did this... but wich one ?

I'm still searching...

Thanks in advance for any support !

Tells you in the included help file how to do that in the scripting section under 'global methods and variables'. I've pasted the relevant section below.

CODE

LoadExternalScript( <String> Scriptname )

This allows you to load an external script from either a Future Pinball Library or from the disk. If the script is being loaded from disk, then script can either be in the current directory (where the table was loaded from) or the scripts / tables sub-directories in the main Future Pinball installation directory. In order to load the script from a library then the library name must also be given as part of the Scriptname path.

Thanks...

I've read all the Future Pinball help file once, but it might be time for a refresh !

Beware... it works but this solution is not good for table coding, because all errors raised in included part with report error at LoadExternalScript call number line.
