How to specify directory relative to interpreter

Postby PGilbert on Wed Oct 14, 2015 3:43 pm

Is it possible to specify the directories in Options -> Configure relative to the directory of the interpreter instead of absolute ? For example for the directory of SALT: C:\Program Files (x86)\Dyalog\Dyalog APL 14.1 Unicode\SALT I would like to use instead something like: .\SALT so it is relative to the interpreter. Is it possible ?

Thanks in advance.

You can specify the path to use by default in Options/Configure or ]settings.
This means that whenever you use a relative path to ]save or ]load this path will be used.
You can do
Code: Select all
   ]save xyz =

to save in the path mentioned there. If the path was /tmp it will be saved there.
If you want to save it under the location where Dyalog resides you can use
Code: Select all
   ]save xyz [dyalog]\xyz

If you want to save it where you current directory is you can use
Code: Select all
   ]save xyz .

If you want to save it where your ws is you can use
Code: Select all
   ]save xyz [ws]\zzz
