there no easy way for me to ask this

[torpid lantern]

Alright what exactly are you trying to execute in a separate file?

[distant latch]

I have a long line of code that does various things like creating embeds and so on.

but I want the second file to grab the third file
and run the code from it

[torpid lantern]

So the first file runs the second, and the second needs to run a bit from a third file, correct?

[distant latch]

I think thats about right. if you want to see it in dms I can show so its easier to explain

[torpid lantern]

Nah I think I get the idea

We can use module.exports for this

In the third file, at the top, put:

module.exports = {
    async execute(incomingVariable) {
        //nothing yet
    },
};

whoops indents were lost lol

[distant latch]

how can I tell the second file to run all the code in the first one?

not first one

mb

third one

[torpid lantern]

To make the second one run the third, you require the third file like so:

const thirdFile = require('relative/path/to/third/file');

Then you execute it, passing whatever variables you need through:

thirdFile.execute(outgoingVariable);

in the third file however, you need to put all the code inside the braces where it currently says //nothing yet

For example

//second file
const thirdFile = require('thirdFile.js');
execute thirdfile(variable);

//third file
module.exports = {
  execute(variable) {
    //the code in the third file here
  },
};

Thank you

ile give this a try

[torpid lantern]

Alright, let me know how it goes!

[distant latch]

Yeah that worked like it was supposed to. thank you!
