Loading jsl scripts into a data table by another script

Jo_E

Hi,
I have several scripts (XXX.jsl) generating seperate reports with many graphs inside each of these reports. And i have a second script which loads data from an exel file, modifies the resulting JMP table and saves the table.

I would be interested to include in the second script a section which loads these report scripts from a folder and makes these available in the upper left box of the JMP table. 

I am doing this because I create a JMP script which should be used by my colleagues. They should just change the file path of the excel file and run the script. With that they should get the JMP table and based on their current table the option to run the reports.

I am sure there is an option, but currently approaches with e.g. include() failed or << save script to data table failed.

Here is simple example which adds text from a file to table as table script

Names Default To Here(1); 

dt = open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");
dt << Delete Scripts(dt << Get Table Script Names);  // demo

script_txt = Load Text File("$SAMPLE_SCRIPTS/chaosGame.jsl");

Eval(EvalExpr(
	dt << New Script("S",
		Expr(Parse(script_txt))
	);
));

If you wish to keep comments, it will be slightly more complicated.

 

Edit: Also if comments are not needed, you can use Include with << Parse Only

Names Default To Here(1); 

dt = open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");
dt << Delete Scripts(dt << Get Table Script Names);  // demo

script_expr = Include("$SAMPLE_SCRIPTS/chaosGame.jsl", << parse only);

Eval(EvalExpr(
	dt << New Script("S",
		Expr(Name Expr(script_expr))
	);
));
