[erlang-questions] file:script/1 and -include

[Ulf Wiger]

-include(...) is a preprocessor directive. The function file:script()
expects a sequence of expressions - just like file:eval(), btw,
except it returns the value of the last expression, rather than just
'ok'.

I'm not aware of any library function that does what you want.
