Include file

Sorry for that stupid question, but I seem unable to get the include() to work called from the REPL. I just use inline:
include(“C:\Users\Diger\Documents\Julia\test_1.jl”)

and it is complaing about
ERROR: could not open file C:\Users\Diger\Documents\Julia\test_1.jl
Stacktrace:

“\” is the escape character, so, e.g., “\U” means “escape-U”, and not “\U”. To get “\” in a string, you need to type “\\”. It is actually simpler to use the unix-syntax and use forward-slash instead – Julia correctly handles that even on Windows. Thus, type:

include("c:/users/diger/documents/julia/test_1.jl")

I’m actually using double backslash and that always worked, now with 1.0.2 not anymore.

And with forward slash it still doesn’t work.

PS: Actually I managed. The problem apparently was that the file was recognized as a textfile by windows and somehow stayed that way (by symbol and so probably by recognition) even though I added the .jl ending. I created a new file and saved as .jl again and now the symbol changed and so it works. Dunno why this happens now. Never had this issue before.

Perhaps the first file was actually .jl.txt but Windows was doing its silly “hide extensions for known file types” thing?
