Title: FileIn ?
Post by: rainnea on January 25, 2009, 04:12:37 PM

What's the correct usage of FileIn ?

I'd like to use this instead of calling a subprogram if that's possible?

thanks,

Hiya Rab, Are you working in VB or Gcode?

This is in gcode.
I'm sure that I had this working a few years ago but can't remember the formating,
I'm currently using P1 to call subprograms (O1....M99) but these are getting very long.

There is no FILEIN command that I am aware of in MACH Gcode. (;-) Just the old SUB routine M98P1 ---o1,M99.

Hope that helps,(;-) TP

It may have been a vb command but called from within a gcode file ?

THe mach manual is on the Documentaion page and the VB script manual is in the Mach WIKI. There is a link to the manual there.

I don't see mention of the command FILEIN in either. BUT I do recall the filein from another controller language , I think AHHA. I have seen it before somewhere other than in MACH.
