preprocessFile filename
Operand types
filename: String
Type of returned value
Description
Returns preprocessed content of given file.
Preprocessor is C-like, supports comments using // or /* and */ and macros defined with #define.
Usually used in conjunction with compile, in order to create a function from an sqf script file.
Note that any error message generated by the function will not give file-name or line number information. If using ArmA, it is therefore preferable to always use preprocessFileLineNumbers instead of this command.

Example
// Pre-compile a function.
myFunction = compile preprocessFile "myFunction.sqf";
// Call the function later.
_result = [_param1, _param2, _param3] call myFunction;
myFunction = compile preprocessFile "myFunction.sqf";
// Call the function later.
_result = [_param1, _param2, _param3] call myFunction;
functionvariable = preProcessFile "functionfilename.sqf"
This has changed in ArmA2.
