----------------------------------- Rocket Tue Jun 06, 2006 5:26 pm Calling on other programs ----------------------------------- Here what i would like to do i have program A A gives a choice to call on program B , C, and D when B, C, or D is finished it will again call on A Is it possible to have program B,C and D as seperate t files but have prgram a load them and display them in the same run window if yes how do i do this ----------------------------------- Cervantes Tue Jun 06, 2006 6:23 pm ----------------------------------- Check out "include". ----------------------------------- bluedevils_77 Tue Jun 06, 2006 7:38 pm ----------------------------------- its called importing and exporting in program B,C,D hvae unit export (name) hello procedure(name) hello end (name) hello if name was hello then in program A hvae import "hello.tu" then when want it to run (program name , what u save it as).hello ----------------------------------- HellblazerX Tue Jun 06, 2006 8:30 pm ----------------------------------- I've never gotten into classes in Turing, but if I'm not mistaken, import and export is generally for classes right? I think Rocket just wants general programs or code, so include would be the method for him. ----------------------------------- Rocket Tue Jun 06, 2006 9:25 pm ----------------------------------- no blue devil did what i want i think, plus if i use units, im gonna get super marks! thanks dude ----------------------------------- TheOneTrueGod Tue Jun 06, 2006 9:29 pm ----------------------------------- I think what bluedevils_77 said will only work in one file. If you have two different .t files, you're going to need to include them... It doesn't matter if the other file is a unit or not. ----------------------------------- Rocket Tue Jun 06, 2006 9:32 pm ----------------------------------- sorry for the double post but i cant find an edit button... #1 from program B, C, D how would i call on A again. #2 if i have varibales in B,C,D will my code still run if they are declared in B,C, D ----------------------------------- Clayton Tue Jun 06, 2006 9:47 pm ----------------------------------- ok lets get this straight : units are generally modules,not classes, modules are only a collection of procedures, functions, and processes and nothing else, so for your purposes i believe you wish to include your programs, not units :D ----------------------------------- bluedevils_77 Wed Jun 07, 2006 7:57 pm ----------------------------------- first of all whats an include and second u can import many other .tu files in other turing programs ----------------------------------- Clayton Wed Jun 07, 2006 8:01 pm ----------------------------------- include is a command that looks for the program name specified after it and basically copies and pastes it into that part of your code ex. (assume we have a program called test.t in the folder with this) inclue test.t that simple :D ----------------------------------- bluedevils_77 Wed Jun 07, 2006 8:04 pm ----------------------------------- first of all whats an include and second u can import many other .tu files in other turing programs ----------------------------------- Clayton Wed Jun 07, 2006 8:19 pm ----------------------------------- why did you post the exact same thing an hour after you posted the first one? did you even read my post? look through the Turing Walkthrough and read through it, you might learn something on the way ----------------------------------- Rocket Wed Jun 07, 2006 9:44 pm ----------------------------------- well from the above posts it sounds like include will work, but howif i ahve it in a procedure would it go like this %this program is called A.t proc runB include B.t end runB %and then progrma B would look like this proc runA include A.t end runA and this will all stay in te same window ----------------------------------- Clayton Wed Jun 07, 2006 10:02 pm ----------------------------------- thats exactly how it would work, because like i said, include basically just copies the file in question and pastes it into the program you have running :D ----------------------------------- Rocket Thu Jun 08, 2006 2:02 pm ----------------------------------- and then if a was called again the varables wouldn't be screwed up? ----------------------------------- Clayton Thu Jun 08, 2006 3:29 pm ----------------------------------- actually i cant really tell you, because i dont usually include programs into others, however, if you really want to check just try it and see what happens, check and see if your variables stay the same :D ----------------------------------- Rocket Thu Jun 08, 2006 5:12 pm ----------------------------------- all right, well thanks for the help.

In order to recieve more specific help, you're going to have to post a more specific question. Give some sample code, or at least describe your program in-depth.
