Description:: Reads and processes the content of the specified file. Preprocessor is C-like, supports comments using // or /* and */ and macros defined with #define.
Due to the hard-drive access this command executes (and the lack of caching) this command should not be used in time-critical script loops.
Groups:: Uncategorised

Example 1:

_content=preprocessFile "myFunction.sqf"
