Not sure why you need that. Perhaps you are looking for functions? (DXL manual, Introduction -> Declarations -> Function definitions)?

thank u for your reply, sorry " get int value from another script" ,  i  want to run many scripts one by one . i need to hole int count from the first script and use infoBox .

eval_ "#include <c:/path/to/dxl 1.dxl>"
if (count > 0 ){ 
infoBox ("result not ok .")}
 else{ infoBox ("run next script!" )
eval_ "#include <c:/path/to/dxl 2.dxl>"
}

Regards,

eval_ "#include <c:/path/to/dxl 1.dxl>"
if (count > 0 ){ 
infoBox ("result not ok .")}
 else{ infoBox ("run next script!" )
eval_ "#include <c:/path/to/dxl 2.dxl>"
}

I still do not see why you don't restructure your code.

put the code of dxl 1.dxl into a function with a meaningful name like 

bool checkDataIntegrityDeletedObjects(){
    // do the checks of dxl 1
    if "ok" then return true else return false
}
bool checkDataIntegrityModuleStructure(){
    ... // checks of dxl 2
}


if (!checkDataIntegrityDeletedObjects()) {
    print "Error concerning deleted objects. Aborting checks"
    halt
}
if (!checkDataIntegrityModuleStructure()){
    print "Error concerning module structure. Aborting checks"
    halt
}

With this scenario, you could even reuse the skip list that you create in some of your scripts

Hello Neven,

No, eval_ creates its own dxl context. In  a code like

main:

string a = "lolo"
eval_ "#include <c:/temp/a.dxl>"
print a
print b // does not work

a.dxl:

print a  // does not work
string b = "lala"

a.dxl has no access to string a and the main program has no access to string b. Also, separate programs are no functions and cannot return any value.

If you really really really want to have separate programs and need to communicate somehow, you can for examle write the result of your sub-script to a file and in the main program read the content of the file. Not worth the effort in my opinion..

string a = "lolo"
eval_ "#include <c:/temp/a.dxl>"
print a
print b // does not work

print a  // does not work
string b = "lala"

thank u .
