UNC filenames

on windows, we can load scripts with UNC filename:

\l //wi/c/tmp.q

we can load csv:

t: … 0:`://wi/c/tmp.csv

but we can’t save:

save `://wi/c/t.csv

'//wi/c/t.csv. OS reports: The specified path is invalid.

`://wi/c/t.txt 0:enlist"text"

'//wi/c/t. OS reports: The specified path is invalid.

any workarounds?

I found that if you replace forward-slash /' with the normal backward ones ', it will work properly.

these three experiments with saving to UNC filenames didn’t work

q)save `:\wi\c\t.csv

'</font>

[0] save `:\wi\c\t.csv

q)save `\wi\c\t.csv

'</font>

[0] save `\wi\c\t.csv

q)save `://wi/c/t.csv

'//wi/c/t.csv. OS reports: The specified path is invalid.

[0] save `://wi/c/t.csv

save hsym`$“\\wi\c\t.csv”

or

save$ssr[;"/";"\\"]string://wi/c/t.csv
