# Usage

Run a macro with one of your projects files open.

Provided the file is in the directory structure of your project, it will automatically locate the appropriate project file to use with Unreal Engine 4.

eg. If \Documents\Unreal Projects\ShooterGame\Source\ShooterGame\Private\Player\ShooterPlayerController.cpp is open,
the project file used will be \Documents\Unreal Projects\ShooterGame\ShooterGame.uproject.
