    Call file as variable from within a file

    In linc you can call an .ngc file from within another .ngc file.

    Is it possible to use a variable as a file name so I can use a set of numbered files, starting with 1.ngc goin on for as long as I have files?

    I have found this page that does say files names can be numbers but it does not say if those can be added to an if/then loop or something similar:

    The answer to your question is on the same document you linked to. Look at heading "6. Calling Files"
