Nestable !insertmacro?
Welcome back Justin...!

The documentation states that !insertmacro can be used inside another !macro definition -

Note that macros cannot contain other macro definitions (though they can insert other macros).

However, the compiler won't let me do this :( -

!insertmacro: cannot be called in command/macro mode

Well, I hacked the source to remove the error message, to try it, and everything seems to be working as expected... Can you confirm?

I've been trying to do things like -

  ; Big list created by batch file...
  !define FNAME "file0123.xxx"
  !define FTYPE X
  !insertmacro DoFile
  !define FNAME "file0124.xxx"
  !define FTYPE Y
  !insertmacro DoFile

...

!macro DoFile
  !insertmacro DoFileCommonStuff
  !insertmacro DoFileType${FTYPE}
  !undef FNAME
  !undef FTYPE
!macroend

Thanks!
