What is the format for the bb-hosts include directive?  I know you can use the full path...where would a relative filename be relative from? $SERVER/etc?  Can it handle variables like $BBHOME?  I need to know in order to make the notes script follow the definitions. (assuming the dispinclude and netinclude follow the same principle)

  include FILENAME
or
  directory DIRNAME

The latter reads all files in the directory, except
- files beginning with a dot .
- files ending with a tilde ~
- files ending with ",v"

The filenames in DIRNAME are sorted alphabetically before being read.

It's relative to the directory where the original file was located.

Can it handle variables like $BBHOME?
No.

You could take a shortcut, and instead of reading FILENAME directly, you'd just read the output from "bbhostshow FILENAME". That takes care
of the include+directory handling.

Henrik

Man, that "shortcut" saved me an hour or so...I was able to add 1 line and change another to make it get the info...you rock, Henrik.
