Hello,  
I just install julia yesterday and I am trying to run a .jl file but I keep getting “could not open file” error.  
I am checking the directory with pwd() and it is correct. My juliatest.jl file is there. But cannot open.  
I am using:  
windows 10  
julia 1.0.1  
IJulia

include(“juliatest.jl”)  
The error is:

```julia
could not open file C:\Users\...\juliatest.jl

Stacktrace:
 [1] include at .\boot.jl:317 [inlined]
 [2] include_relative(::Module, ::String) at .\loading.jl:1041
 [3] include(::Module, ::String) at .\sysimg.jl:29
 [4] include(::String) at .\client.jl:388
 [5] top-level scope at In[3]:1

```
