Check if DIAdem script started directly

[SeryDavid]

Hello,

is there a way to check if DIAdem script started directly?

In Python there is:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

With this functionality I could separate functionality for the script when it is imported by another script and when it is run directly.

There is no direct way but you could use SubSequence and some error handling.

bMain()
sub bMain()
  on error resume next
  call SubSequence() : if 0 = err.number then exit sub
  on error goto 0
  
  MsgBox "Execute main"
end sub

Here are two example scripts to check

a.vbs

Option Explicit
scriptinclude currentScriptPath & "b.vbs"

call b()

b.vbs

Option Explicit

sub b()
  MsgBox "b called"
end sub

bMain()
sub bMain()
  on error resume next
  call SubSequence() : if 0 = err.number then exit sub
  on error goto 0
  
  MsgBox "Execute main"
end sub
