When I copy a file-path from the windows file explorer, the format is like this: C:\Users\MyUser\Folder\File.jl
When I want to read this file in Julia, when trying to read a CSV or include() custom functions, I try to use this command:
include(“C:\Users\MyUser\Folder\File.jl”)
The problem is that this string contains backslashes, and so it is not parsed correctly. But this is how things have to be to maintain the “\UnicodeSymbol ” functionality, right? My current workaround is to manually change every \ into /, but it just feels like a better option has to exist.
So the question is generally how can I copy file-paths in a way that Julia can correctly parse on a windows computer, which I believe boils down to if/how I can change the direction of the slashes when copying a path from the file explorer. Any fixes out there?
For anyone googling this issue, here is a link to the documentation:
