Load script from external txt-file

I want to put my script in a txt-file instead of storing it in the qvs-file so I can version handle it. I put the code

$(include = "subfolder/filename.txt");

in my qvs-file but when I reload no data gets loaded. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

There should not be double quotes.

Your script should look like this


$(include = subfolder/filename.txt);

I tried this also. It doesn't work.

Can I put the whole script in the txt-file or does some part of it need to be in the qvs-file? Now my qvs-file only contains the include-code.

It works as expected for me.

subfield(Sales,',') as Sales_New,
Sales;

if(Peek(Product) = Product and peek(Sales_New) = Sales_New, Sales_New,Sales) as Sales_New1,
