File within a File

[nat_wheatley]

I'd like to use the FP command to open a file, within another file. Where do I store the second file so that the FP command is able to locate it?

Nat: Must be in the same folder/directory as the master file.

Got it. Thanks Gerald.

I've used the following with success:

FP, ../../myfile.sbp

OR

FP, C:\SBPARTS\myfile.sbp

In the first case, the file called myfile is two sub-directories above the location of the calling file, hence the use of two ../

In the second case, you give the path to myfile from the C drive.

Regards,

Harold

Great info, thanks Harold!

I always think of it this way:

"\" means "the root directory of whatever logical disk I am executing on"

".\" means "the directory where I am current executing"

"..\" (as you described) means "one directory up from wherever I am currently executing"
