import filename
Import the contents of another script.
- Arguments:
-
filename
- The name of a file containing script commands. This should
either be a literal pathname, or the name of a script
InputFile argument preceded by a
$
.
- Example:
- The following example imports a file that contains a number of
convenient user-defined commands and functions.
import ~mcs/CBI/conf/utils.sch
- Context:
- It is anticipated that over time CBI observers will create a
number of canned observing procedures. These will hopefully be
encapsulated in user-defined commands that take observing lists
as arguments. In order not to have to cut and paste them into
every observing schedule that gets written, these commands will
be placed in a utility file that can be imported into subsequent
observing schedules, using the
import
command.
