Import External File - MEL?

jayantbhatt007 · Aug 2019

Hi guys I'm working on a script where I wanna import external file into my existing scene but as you can see in the screenshot my path is fine for me but if I upload this script on highend, user has to change the location which I don't want. I have seen script where people are using some other commands to import the file But I couldn't figured it out. LIKE THIS (

global proc string[] Character_scale () {

string $X = (`internalVar -userScriptDir`) + "scripts/3D_Ghost_Script/Files/UE4_Man_Scale.ma";

} DON'T KNOW WHAT HE DID?

Any Help???

Not a direct answer, but in Python you just use the OS module.
To be upfront though, if you are building a pipeline tools, you'd be better of using python.

yes I saw so many posts related to python but for MEL there is nothing. Its better to move with python but right now I need a solution for this. Thanks for your suggestion.

You can use internalVar to get various directories and then modify it as needed or have some sort of settings file that is updated by the script and set by the user.
