Import variable values from an external JS file

Question

I have a JS file located in directory c:\myJSfiles\FileNumberOne.xyz

 //c:\myJSfiles\FileNumberone.xyz 
 var 1 = ThisValue1;
 var 2 - ThisValue2;
 and so on

In the same root directory, I have second JS file c:\myJSfiles\FileNumberTwo.xyz which I want to import the values of the variables from FileNumberOne.xyz

 //file: c:\myJSfiles\FileNumberTwo.xyz
 var A = "c:\myJSfiles\FileNumberOne.xyz", var 1;
 var B = "c:\myJSfiles\FileNumberOne.xyz", var 2;

How would I do this?

• Raghu: Would be great if you can share the exact extension of the file instead of saying "xyz" .

Answer 1

var 1 makes no sense, I assume you did it as an example only. Otherwise if you declare something in the first referenced script on the page, it will automatically be available in the second.

for example if you have in

<script src="Script1.js"></script>

line

var something = "hello"

you can reference the second script after the first

<script src="Script2.js"></script>

and in that script use that variable

alert(something); // will display hello

• ddawson7: Since I am a beginner, I am confused about applying your answer to my situation. var1 = ThisValue1 which is a number that changes frequently as is var 2. Would you be so kind as to write your answer so I can see how ThisValue1 makes it into the second JS file...Thanks
• ddawson7: Please note, this JS is not a webpage.
• Comfortably Numb: @ddawson7 were do you run your JS then - what environment?
• ddawson7: Within a charting application
• Comfortably Numb: Could you please elaborate? What is the application name, what technologies does it use? Windows, Web, etc.?
