Calling on other programs

[Rocket]

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]

Check out "include".

[bluedevils_77]

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

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.

no blue devil did what i want i think, plus if i use units, im gonna get super marks! thanks dude

[TheOneTrueGod]

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.

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

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

[bluedevils_77]

first of all whats an include

and second u can import many other .tu files in other turing programs

[Clayton]

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)

Turing:

inclue test.t

that simple

first of all whats an include

[Clayton]

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]

well from the above posts it sounds like include will work, but howif i ahve it in a procedure would it go like this

code:

%this program is called A.t proc runB include B.t end runB

code:

%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]

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

[Rocket]

and then if a was called again the varables wouldn't be screwed up?
