Loading scripts in VS Code

[Allen_K]

Been starting to experiment a bit with the VS Code plugin. However, I can’t seem to load in another script to the one I’m working on.

E.g. running “\l script.q” gives me: OS reports: The system cannot find the file specified. The two scripts are in the same folder.

Thanks,
Allen

On Windows try \cd or on Linux/Mac \pwd.
These will show you your current working directory, which may not contain your files.

You can list the files in your current directory with:

• \DIR on Windows
• \ls on Linux/Mac
• key `:. which is a native q command which works on all platforms

You can then load your script.

Either using fully qualified paths:

Windows:

\l C:\\Users\\myuser\\myfolder\\script.q

Mac:

\l /Users/myuser/myfolder/script.q

Linux:

\l /home/myuser/myfolder/script.q

Or relative paths:

Windows:

\l myfolder\\script.q

Mac:

\l myfolder/script.q

Linux:

\l myfolder/script.q
