Hi !

in order to simplify updating of my menu, i made a small excel sheet wich generate all ai(); lines which contains menu informations and item.

Is it possible to separe in another file this informations, and to have, in the menudata.js file a line like "include file_ai.js" for exemple ?

Thanks by advance !

This is going to be a question for Andy.

However, IMHO, it sounds to me like you've made a lot of extra work for yourself. Also, I'm not sure how you're going to save an .xls format as a .js file.

well, it is really simple. Excel is able to create a txt file, and you call it as you want... with a .js for exemple

it is working with macros

Then if what you're generating is in the same format as a menu_data.js file, simply tack a .js on the end of the name, as you suggested, and use the normal menu call to bring it in. Do not use an include statement.
