Was this on compile or a click on the explorer window include file?

Click on the explorer view window.

Please post your
INCLUDE "include_file_name.xxx"
line of code.

Basically main program consist of several include files and this was one of them. Same thing with all the other include files, cannot open them.

INCLUDE "..\incl\Variables_v0_1.pbp"

It does not help if I change full path, c:\...
No problems to compile the program.

EDIT:
Then other thing that I observed. If I reopen FL (it will open latest file), but then I cannot compile opened file. I have to open same file (Ctrl+O) and then FL can compile file OK.

Error window says: "Invalid Include File Path:[link to 1st include file]. Aborting Compile"

PS. 20min timeout for editing sucks!!

INCLUDE "..\incl\Variables_v0_1.pbp"

I haven’t see the use of "..\" in an include before.
The next version of FL will add that.

INCLUDE "N-Bit_Math.pbp.txt" 'works OK
INCLUDE "E:\1PBP3\Nbit Math\N-Bit_Math.pbp.txt" 'works OK
INCLUDE "..\Nbit Math\N-Bit_Math.pbp.txt" 'not OK in this version of FL

Could you provide more examples of the exact include line to see if their are more unanticipated items?

No matter what I enter after INCLUDE, it does not open files ?!?
Even if I place file in root (c:\) and try to open from there, no success. Also shortening name below 8 char didn't help.

I downloaded v2 zip and extracted to C:\PIC\FineLine folder. I have not used earlier version of FL with this computer, so am I missing some plug-in or something or should zip include everything?

INCLUDE "N-Bit_Math.pbp.txt"
FL first looks for the include file as written above in the directory in which your .pbp program is saved.
Secondly it looks in the PicBasicPro compiler directory as set up in options.
Third it does additonal searching but try the above first.

The download includes everything.

Works if include file is in the same folder as the main pbp (as you said),

INCLUDE "Variables_v0_1.pbp"

but if file is in different folder then it fails to open it (path in front of actual file is not working).

Could this be fixed?

I prefer kind of "modular coding", which means that I use a lots of includes in main pbp. All the code is in include files, which are located in different folder, etc ../include/ -folder to keep thing more clear and readable. This is working very well with MicroCode Studio.

The INCLUDE command is part of PBP, the text editor used to write the code does not have anything to do with it.

Correct; for compiling PBP finds the include files.

Gusse may be opening the include files with a click in the explorer window.
The next version of FL will also do an explorer open if the full path is provided in the include.

I'm not sure how to code for a partial path as it could be anywhere on the hard drive and doing a search could take several minutes in some cases unless their is a way to limit it.
