It seems you cannot include files like this:
I wonder why this is the case, since both Strings are constants. The following examples work (according to the documentation) for constnats:

And the following seems also not possible

file1.hws:

Const #MYCONST="path/to/dir/file2.hws"

file2.hws:

@INCLUDE #MYCONST

The following error occurs then:

"The constant #myconst has already been decleared"

So, I wonder, how I can include a file whose location or name is not known before that file exists? Is there a way to dynamically include files?

Since I previously made a mistake, I deleted that post and wrote it again. So, here is the problem description:

const #constant1="path/to/dir/" const #constant2="filename"

@INCLUDE #constant1..#contant2

Yes, that's currently not supported but you're right it should be supported for consistency reasons. I'll add it to the to do list.

The name of the include file needs to be known at compile time. It is not possible to include files whose names are only known at run time.

But the above behaviour is the same as in your previous mail. Hollywood currently doesn't support any string constants in the preprocessor commands. I'll try to support them in the next version.

Hmm, actually, I cannot reproduce this problem. It seems to work fine. Could you present more details please?

Sorry, actually, I seem to have forgotten myself what the problem was I tried to recreate the problem and I couldn't see the error message again. So, I probably did some other mistake.

What I tried in general is to include a script whose name is not known in beforehand. However

'@INCLUDE #SOMECONST'

seems to be fine.

Sorry, for my confusing emails
