Can I execute a scala code file as a part of my code?

Question

I woud like my application to execute external scripts written in a Scala-based DSL i've developed. That's why I need something like this to work:


...
val a = evaluate("~/myextcode.scala")
...

myextcode.scala:


return 123

Can I reach some thing like this in Scala?

You can do that with Eval from twitter util. Check its Scaladocs here.

Has this been ported to 2.9.x? Last time I checked I was unable to find binaries or compile the code...

I haven't checked it for 2.9.x. So don't know.
