Include files

Hello.

I have put in all my categories a specific file. The name of this file is file.txt.

Example:
Home/Food/file.txt
Home/Food/Meat/file.txt
Home/Food/Meat/Shops/file.txt

Now I want include all file.txt in her specific category.
I tried this:

<%include /path/to/linkssql/Home/Food/file.txt%>

My problem is, that the path is changing in any category.
Is there a way to change the path dynamically?

Or is it possible to call the file with the ID?
When I would put all txt files in a separate folder,
give them the name of the ID and call them with:

<%include /path/to/linkssql/folder-wherer-txt-files-are-stored/<%ID%>.txt%>

Doing it with something like this would make more sense (as it keeps them all in one folder);

<%include /path/to/linkssql/folder-wherer-txt-files-are-stored/$ID.txt%>

If that doesn't, then a global would do the same thing.

Yes, you 're right.

I tried it. $id shows not the id-number.

It shows only:
/$id.txt

Hi,

Try it with a simple global then:

load_file_from_id

Code:
sub { 
  my $path = '/path/to/folder' . $_[0] . '.txt'; 
  my $back; 
  open(READIT,$path) || return qq|can't read $path, reason: $!|; 
   while (<READIT>) { $back .= $_; } 
  close(READIT); 
  return $back; 
}

..then call with:

<%load_file_from_id($ID)%>

Should work fine Smile
