Hi,

You may already know this, but a subsitutions file can reference multiple template files, e.g.

corvette:1-5beta/iocBoot/iocFirewire>cat firewire.substitutions
file "$(AREA_DETECTOR)/ADApp/Db/firewireFeature.template" 
{ 
pattern
{     P,     R,   PORT,     FEATURE,     N, PINI, PINI_ABS, DESC}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,  BRIGHTNESS,     0,  YES,       NO, "Brightness"}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,    EXPOSURE,     1,  YES,       NO, "Exposure"}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,   SHARPNESS,     2,   NO,       NO, "Sharpness"}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,      WHITEB,     3,  YES,       NO, "White balance"}

{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,   FRAMERATE,    15,   NO,       NO, "Frame rate"}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,        ZOOM,    16,   NO,       NO, "Zoom"}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,         PAN,    17,  YES,       NO, "Pan"}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,        TILT,    18,  YES,       NO, "Tilt"}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,      FILTER,    19,  YES,       NO, "Optical filter"}

}
file "$(AREA_DETECTOR)/ADApp/Db/firewireWhiteBalance.template" 
{ 
pattern
{     P,     R,   PORT,     FEATURE,     N, PINI, PINI_ABS, DESC}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,      WHITEB,     3,  YES,       NO, "White balance"}
}
file "$(AREA_DETECTOR)/ADApp/Db/firewireVideoModes.template" 
{ 
pattern
{     P,     R,   PORT,    N}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,  0}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,  1}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,  2}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,  3}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,  4}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,  5}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,  6}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,  7}
}

file "$(AREA_DETECTOR)/ADApp/Db/firewireColorCodes.template" 
{ 
pattern
{     P,     R,   PORT,    N}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,  0}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,  1}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,  2}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,  3}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,  4}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,  5}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,  6}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,  7}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,  8}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1,  9}
{13FW1:, cam1:,    FW1, 10}
}
Obviously that substitutions file can be loaded with a single dbLoadTemplate command.  This may be good enough?

Subject: dbLoadTemplate and includes

Hello all,

I have several substitution files, which I could load with a series of
dbLoadTemplate. Is there a way to have only one dbLoadTemplate hand have
a substitution file such as follow:

cat master_substitution_file<<EOT
include substitution_file_1
include substitution_file_2
include substitution_file_3
EOT

and in stcmd

dbLoadTemplate("$PATH/master_substitution_file")

Well, this doesn't seem to work.
is there a way to include dbTemplate/substitution together?

Regards,
