Is there a way to include a variable in an #include path?

[wckdtall]

Below is my example that doesn't work. I have a lot of on local machine files for Illustrator, to have them appear in a menu, and I'm wondering if I am able to use a variable with #include since the path can be long. Is this possible?

scriptingPath = "/Volumes/work/_Resources/_Apps/adobe_scripts/";
#include scriptingPath + "delete_layers.jsx";

have you tried removing the space at the start of the variables string?

i would expect that to work.

so i would be looking at syntax.

could it be something like.

scPath = new Folder ("path goes here");

only on phone so can check now. will look when back at pc.

Instead of using #include, you can use eval(File()) , or $.evalFile(File()) to bring in some code.

Hi, please try

#includepath "/Volumes/work/_Resources/_Apps/adobe_scripts/"; 
#include "delete_layers.jsx";

I realise now after seeing the correct solution from moluapple​ that the "#" is not true Javascript.

So for some reason does not pass javascript variables.

Like thread here from a few years back:[JS CS3] Making the #includepath work

thanks moluapple,
