Simple scripting question

During a scheduled evetn I am calling a script in an external file. This works fine, but in that file I wish to execute a script in another external file (in the same folder as the original), so this (in principle) is what I wish to do

file1.py:

#set a variable or some other python code
indigo.variables[blah blah].....

#now call another script in file2.py
execfile("file2.py")

file2.py:
#do whatever is required!.....


How do I make it work? I get an error stating file2.py doesnt exist

Can you provide a little bit more information on what you want to accomplish? For example, are you passing information from script 1 to script 2? Does script 2 need to wait for script 1 to finish before executing?

The solution may be simpler than you think.

Thanks. I basically wish to use some code in file2 within file1, so file2 should execute then file1 should continue. Basically calling a function within file2

[jay (support)]

Put the code in file2.py into a function, then import that function in file1 and use it:

Code: Select all

from file2 import myFunction

#set a variable or some other python code
indigo.variables[blah blah].....

myFunction(params)


thank you
