Include external file into dxl Script

Hello,

is it possible to include an external file in a dxl Script?

In my dxl Script I want to call an external file, witch gets information (numbers) from a different tool.
In addition I want to readout these information and add it to my dxl Script/ my Doors Module.

The hole thing sounds very difficult to my, to integrate into a dxl Script.
That is why I ask you, if anybody worked with a solution like this before
or anybody knows if this is possible in principle?

Thanks in advance.

If the 'external file' is DXL code itself (containing library functions) then use the #include statement:

#include <c:\Folder\SubFolder\LibraryDXL.inc>
#include "c:\Folder\SubFolder\LibraryDXL.inc"

Relative paths are allowed as per 'addins' but its hard to explain.

If the 'external file' is some sort of data, you can read it into your program like this:

string FileContents = readFile("c:\\Folder\\SubFolder\\LibraryDXL.inc")

If the 'external file' are really commands to some other application, perhaps VBA, then I've struggled through that once but someone else will need to chime in and help
