How to keep UDF files separate from each other?

[cag8f]

Hi all.  I have a UDF I wish to add to AutoIt (the OutlookEX UDF).  Using these instructions, I was able to add all ~225 files of the UDF to a folder on my computer (C:/my-udf-folder), then using SciTE config I was able to instruct AutoIT to look in that folder for UDFs.  That worked as desired/expected.  But in my UDF folder, is it possible to add the files for this particular UDF to a specific sub-folder (e.g. `udf-outlookex`)?  That way, if I need to add a UDF in the future, the files for each UDF will be kept separate.

I tried adding the UDF files to a folder C:/my-udf-folder/udf-outlookexe, then adding this directory to SciTE config:  C:/my-udf-folder.  But when I did so, then tried to include the UDF in an AutoIT script, it failed, saying it could not find the UDF.

Thanks in advance.

cag8f,

If you want your includes to be in separate subfolders then you need to add the subfolder name to the include line.  So in this case you should be able to put all the files into "C:/my-udf-folder/udf-outlookexe" and then call the UDF like this:

#include "udf-outlookexe\OutlookEX.au3"

I do not use this particular UDF but the above works for others I have tested.

In SciTE you can use the "SciTE Config for AutoIt" tool to set a user defined directory for all of your UDFs.
Press Ctrl+1 and set "User Include Folder" to the directory where you keep all of your UDFs. So when you install a new version of AutoIt nothing gets lost.

@Melba23 Thanks for that, it worked.

 

@water Thanks for the reply.  I actually already knew what you mentioned, and was more asking how to organize different UDFs in the User Include Folder.  Thanks for the help though.
