The auto prepended file will then look something like: --- Pseudo code --- - if constant A is not defined -- define constant A -- your code --- End of Pseudo code --- This will make sure function, variables and/or constants will only be defined once. </Reply> -- * R&zE: -- »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» -- Renze Munnik -- DataLink BV -- -- E: renze@datalink.nl -- W: +31 23 5326162 -- F: +31 23 5322144 -- M: +31 6 21811143 -- -- Stationsplein 82 -- 2011 LM HAARLEM -- Netherlands -- -- http://www.datalink.nl -- ««««««««««««««««««««««««
