Hey guys,

happy julia con 🙂

How would I `include()` from a network disc like:

```julia
include("C:.../file.jl")
Core.include(Main, "//111.1.1.1/drive\$/.../test.jl")

```

The second one doesn’t work for me. Any ideas?

Cheers!

This kinda works, but I’m not sure if it’s save to use…

```julia
Core.include(Main, "//111.1.1.1/drive\$/.../test.jl")

```

But not in all cases.

The documented function is [`Base.include`](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/base/base/#Base.include), rather than `Core.include`, so it’s better to use that one.

That being said, I don’t understand why the module chosen for including the code of a file is something that should have something to do with `readdir` from a network disc…

Sorry my bad. I have change the post. I need the `include`. `readdir` was just a test and it worked.

`Base.include` does not work with that file path. So I debugged it and `Core.include` did but not inside other modules.

Could you map the network drive in explorer (`net use y:\ \\111.1.1.1\drive`).  
Maybe that would help?

Actually the code you have does not work for me anyway.  
Is there an Base.include function that takes a module as argument?

```julia
julia> include(Main,"c:\\temp\\test.jl")
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching include(::Module, ::String)
You may have intended to import Base.include
Stacktrace:
 [1] top-level scope at REPL[2]:1

Thanks for your response 👍  
Too many edits^^ It should be:

```julia
Core.include(Main, "//111.1.1.1/drive\$/.../test.jl")

```

With that I’m able to load it sometimes.

ok.  
The following works flawlessly for me.

```julia
include(raw"\\13.14.15.10\famkoenig\temp\test.jl") 

```

Yes, but that method is not exported, so you have to call it as `Base.include`.
