Read plugin version from another one

Is it possible to read the version of a certain plugin and then register another plugin with the same version?

First plugin

PHP Code:


		
			
new const g_pluginversion[ ] = "2.1";

register_plugin( "Main plugin", g_pluginversion, "KronoS # GG" );

Second plugin

PHP Code:


		
			
register_plugin( "Second plugin", "how_to_get_the_first_plugin_version?", "KronoS # GG" );

Dynamic natives.
or XVars.
Or even a CVAR. Register it and it can be accessed from any other plugin. Just make sure its AFTER it in the plugins.ini

As a matter of fact , could you provide me with an example of how to use it for extracting the plugin version?

@kiki33hun: I don't want to save it within a file/database.
@Liverwiz: Neither with dynamic natives.But thanks for the Xvars , i'll need those for something else.

Re: Read plugin version from another one

Here you go

PHP Code:


		
			
new iIndex = find_plugin_byfile("first_plugin_name.amxx");
    
new szVersion[6];
get_plugin(iIndex, .version = szVersion, .len3 = charsmax(szVersion));
