I am working on URcap project. I have prepare a code in URScript. The following URScript is of 200 lines. I want to write a script in generate script() function. Is there any way that I can directly call a function for URscript instrad of writting 200 line code.

You could place your 200 lines of script code in a file in your resources folder.  
Then read this file, and use the ScriptWriter `appendRaw()` method.

Thanks Jacob. So the appendRaw() will able to compile full URScript.  
Is this a correct way to do it.  
@Override  
public void generateScript(ScriptWriter writer) {  
writer.appendRaw( **"home/rohan/Documents/URDevelopment/URCap/resources/impl/temp.script**");

According to the Javadoc, the `appendRaw()` method will append the raw script to the ScriptWriter, without auto-indentation and similar. This means you can import this from i.e. a file which has indentation and so on.

Unfortunately, the approach is not just quite as easy, as you suggest above.  
You need to open and read the file. I suggest you take a look at this sample:

> Script Wapper URCap Description of functionality: This URCap wraps the contents of a selected script file into a program node in PolyScope. The user can select which script file to wrap, and select a decent image to show instead. User must place a script file (.script) and optionally image (.jpg, .jpeg, .png .bmp) in the /programs/ folder on a real robot, or /home/ur/ursim-current/programs/ in a URSim. The URCap checks the robots serial number, to decide what folder to look in. The sample d…
