4.1.15 Include files

The syntax of an include-file is:

     #include "script.nco"

The script filename is searched relative to the run directory. It is possible to nest include files to an arbitrary depth. A handy use of inlcude files is to store often used constants. Use RAM variables if you do not want these constants written to output-file.

     // script.nco
     // Sample file to #include in ncap2 script
     *pi=3.1415926535; // RAM variable, not written to output
     *h=6.62607095e-34; // RAM variable, not written to output
     e=2.71828; // Regular (disk) variable, written to output
