Hi,

is it possible to prevent stopping a script, when a inlcude is not found? I thougt about extending a script with a include. If the extension-file does not exist, the script should run without that extension.

Most of the time one would want such an error to occur, since #Include files are sometimes critical to operation. However, since it seems that there's no other way to avoid this, perhaps a new directive could be added, or a new parameter to the existing one (like "ignore"). Even better, there could be a directive case structure like that found in some scripting languages, where an ahk command capable of returning true or false is pre-executed. See example below. But maybe that's going a little too far.

Since file names can contain real commas, additional parameters can't be added to #include without breaking existing scripts. Also, adding a new directive for this (such as #IncludeIgnore) seems unwarranted.

The remaining option is to support a prefix such as *i in front of the filename to ignore loading problems.

What kind of alternate behavior are you trying to achieve? Perhaps it can be done by means other than a conditional Include. If not, it could probably be done by having a master script that rewrites the top line of a dependent script and then runs that script.

Hi Chris,

I have a masterscript which can be extendend by the include-file. the include-file itself only has other includes which will load the extensions. May aim is, that no one has to modify the masterscript but can extend it with own functions. The advantage of the includes is, that they will be compiled. An option to ignore includes if the file was not found would be very great and is solving my problems.

This capability has been added in the latest release. Please let me know if you have any problems with it.

The help file still says you cannot have a conditional #Include. Has this changed ever?

works even if the file is not present.
