Files and some examples can be downloaded from here: http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/cont...aylors-s-works
Thanks. But is there some sort of tutorial on how to actually install the include files?Quote:

and then add the include statement in your main code, placing whatever file you want to include in quotes, for exampleQuote:

Thanks! I was confused as to how you "physically" got the include file in there. I didn't realize it was as simple as just putting the file in the same folder as your .pbp file.
If you tend to use the same family of PICs, and the same hardware configurations (eg port B for an LCD display, or port A for input switches etc) then you can simply make one file with all the hardware definitions in, and then include that using one line in your main code.
For example, I tend to use an 18F2620 or 18F4620 in most of my projects, and use the same LCD and pins for input switches so I have
An then save that as "hardware18F4620" and then in the main program use theCode:'*******************************************************************************

Saves having to write out or copy and paste lots of codeCode:INCLUDE "hardware18F4620.pbp"
You can copy and paste it straight into your main file if you want to see it, or change it.
There are times when the include file is annoying, such as any variable you want to add in the include file has to be
declared before your main code (i.e. in the include file).
Can one put an Include within an Include file?
Have you tried?
Well no, but really I'm wondering if there is a limitation. Multiple includes with includes within them. Since it all "happens" before compile time, I suppose it doesn't matter?
As far as I know - no, it doesn't matter.
Whatever is in the included file gets put, byte for byte, where the INCLUDE "thisorthatfile.pbp" line is placed so you can have a source file wich includes two other files, which each includes two other files and so on. It's not a good idea to include the SAME file more than once though, if that's a "risk" you need to use conditionals to make sure it's only "compiled in" once even though it's included at several places.
Disclaimer: I haven't done anything like the above.
/Henrik.
The only issue I could see with having lots of include files for standard things, say routines for reading and RTC, writing to an EEPROM, updating an LCD etc is that you wouldn't have much code structure in the main program !
Agreed Scampy, it could become more difficult to debug if there was some "hidden" conflict since it wouldn't be as readable.
See below for Include file. This may help you.

In what way does perl scrip help with PicBASIC pro ?
