Thanksfor the
clarification of my syntax error with the way the include statement was
written.
<SPAN
class=230465812-28092002>
You could have
saved the example, because it looks like what I wrote in my message, besides the
incorrect syntax of the include statement, was correct on how it works--when the
include command is written correctly. But your additional example is
helpful to confirm my thinking about *how* it works was correct, even if my
writing the statement was wrong.
<SPAN
class=230465812-28092002>
I missed the part
in the help file about using all lower case. It actually never mentions this
in the help file, but it is unnecessary to mention it since the parser
converts upper or mixed case to lower case automatically, so the only important
part is the "" quotes, and the reverse slashes.

Ken,
1.
Of course it will not work.
You HAVE TO enclose path in DOUBLE QUOTES !
#include "C:\Program
Files\Amibroker\Common.AFL"
Excerpt from the Read
Me:
implemented a *very* basic pre-processor with single command #include that
allows to include external AFL files into your formula. Syntax:<FONT
size=5>#include "path\to my file\name path.afl"Note 1:
include statement need SINGLE backslashes in the path (this is quite the
opposite to normal AFL stingparsing)
And it has to be written
#include
exactly like this - lowercase.
Non upper case, no #InCluDe .
<FONT
size=2>
2. As it name says
#include is for including other file into formula being
currently parsed.
Let's say the file1.afl looks like this:
//////////// BEGIN
////////////////////////////////
C1 = Ref( C, -1 );
C2 = Ref( C, -2 );
C3 = Ref( C, -3 );
C4 = Ref( C, -4 );C5 = Ref( C, -5 );
C6 = Ref( C, -6 );
///////// END ///////////////////////////////
Now main formula looks like this:
#include "path to\file1.afl"
Plot( ( C1 + C2 + C3 + C4 )/4, "Avg", colorRed );
<FONT face="Arial CE"
size=2>==================================
When AmiBroker parses main formula it sees include statement
and
in the place where include is used it "pastes" the contents of
file1.afl and
processes the result (the formula after pre-processing stage :
this is how AFL engine sees it ):
//////////// BEGIN
////////////////////////////////
C1 = Ref( C, -1 );
C2 = Ref( C, -2 );
C3 = Ref( C, -3 );
C4 = Ref( C, -4 );C5 = Ref( C, -5 );
C6 = Ref( C, -6 );
///////// END
///////////////////////////////
Plot( ( C1 + C2 + C3 + C4 )/4, "Avg", colorRed
);

Some of us wanted a call (subroutine) to other afl formulas
to REDUCE code
bloat.<<
I thought this was how
#include was supposed to work. Tell me how the following is not
correct
File: called
Common.AFL
Ready = C >
EMA(C,21);
Not_Ready = C <
EMA(C,21);
Go =
Flip(Ready,Not_Ready);
New AFL code called
DoIt.AFL
#INCLUDE C:\Program
Files\Amibroker\Common.AFL
Vol=V>EMA(V,50); // or any
other common buy condition
Buy = Go AND
Vol;
Sell = NOT
Go;
First
question:
Does #INCLUDE work like I
have written it above? Does it "bring along" the various arrays within
it to the new, "calling" AFL file?
Second question (if 1 is
yes)
Is this not like a subroutine
call?
Help me understand. The
above is what I took from the help paragraph that came with the
distribution.
Thanks,
Ken

Dingo,
You can see all the code now. Just cut and paste.
Forget that #include exists. If you don't know what formula
coding #include refers to, you shouldn't use it.
Some of us wanted a call (subroutine) to other afl formulas
to REDUCE code
bloat.
It was getting ridiculous to duplicate the same
often-used code for its use in every system and its variant.

Different
strokes, I guess, Dingo.
<FONT color=#0000ff

I'd have a
major problem if the #include directive in C [or uses or import or ... in
other languages] inserted several pages of source
code!
If I
wanted to insert source code, cut and paste would
suffice.

Ken,
When using #include please note that if you
specify the full path
it should have single backslashes (this is
different from regular AFL code that
needs double backslashes).
So your sample #include statement should look
like this:
#include "C:\Program
Files\AmiBroker\AFL\MyFile.afl"
