How to change working directory in julia with atom

The command to change working directory is cd(dir::AbstractString=homedir()). Can anyone give an example as how to use it?

Thank you. Worked fine. I was trying cd(“D:\study\juliaprog”)
which was giving me error.

Backslashes on Windows: you have to double them.
cd(“D:\\study\\juliaprog”)
(“Escape” the backslash.)

cd(“D:\study\juliaprog”) was also not working. Showing error.

or use a Raw String Literal

cd(raw“D:\study\juliaprog”)

Hi

I used this method, but the issue is not solved, e.g.

 cd("D:\\Downloads\\AbaqusReader.jl-master")
 filename = Pkg.dir("AbaqusReader","test","test_sparse_mesh","cube_tet4.inp")
mesh = abaqus_read_mesh(filename)

ERROR: SystemError: opening file “C:\Users\test\.julia\packages\AbaqusReader\sDEH0\test\test_sparse_mesh\cube_tet4.inp”: No such file or directory

How can we change the work folder in JULIA 1.1.0?

With cd. Check the current working directory with pwd. Your problem is because Pkg.dir (which AFAIU is deprecated) gives you an absolute path so your working directory has no influence.

Hi

thanks! one more question: where can we find the output file from

abaqus_read_mesh(filename)

There is no output file. It returns a dictionary with the information parsed from the file.

You are asking specifically for the file “C:\Users\test.julia\packages\AbaqusReader\sDEH0\test\test_sparse_mesh\cube_tet4.inp” and if this file does not exist you get an error message. Your work folder has no bearing on that.

What does “reexport” mean?

If we convert Abaqus inp file to a dict, which kind format of output file

What do you want to do?

e.g. we can use this output file for 
# [KristofferC](https://github.com/KristofferC)/ **[FEM.jl](https://github.com/KristofferC/FEM.jl)**

Thank you. Professor!

You have an Abaqus input file stored on disk. What do you want to do with it?
