Hi all,
I am trying to source script from external location.

string $projDir = `workspace -fullName` + "/mel/";

source ($projDir + "myScript.mel");

myScript;

However, I am having syntax error with the second line. Not sure where went wrong.
Hope someone could enlighten me.

Thanks in advance

Zin

Source is not a MEL command, it's a MEL interpreter directive. So you have to specify a hard coded, static path in quotes when using it.

As a workaround you could use something like

eval("source \"" + $projDir + ... + "\";");

Hope that helps:)
