You may read the file to a string with groovy, and call groovy's eval to evaluate the string. You may pass in some QB objects as eval context (such as system, build, etc) if necessary

Thanks a lot. This worked. In case someone is interested, here is a simple example:

groovy:

def sharedData = new Binding()                          
def shell = new GroovyShell(sharedData)                 
sharedData.setProperty('configuration', configuration)     
 
logger.info(shell.evaluate(new File('J:\\temp\\simpleScript.groovy')));

And here is the content of simpleScript.groovy

return configuration.getPathName();

Thanks for sharing. In QB9 we will be adding a separate step to execute script in a file.

Decent need to accomplish something like this with mine
