More LISP info please 1

[Welshman]

Hi guys

If I have a lisp file located in a network sub directory
EG O:\ARCHITECTS\ACAD2002\LISP\LISPFILE.LSP

How do I load an run it with such a long path name?

If I move the file to C:\ and type

(Load "c:\lispfile.lsp&quot it loads and executes fine
but, if I load it in its network location

(Load "O:Architects\Acad2002\Lisp\Lispfile.lsp&quot
AutoCad gives me a load error.

Any ideas ?

Many thanks

in acad

tools -> load application
then browse to .lsp file

it will remember path and add to list, for even more automation, use the start up suite by clicking the "contents" button, then browse for file.

now this lisp will be loaded with each autocad session.

hope this helps

Intel P4 1.7 GHZ
768 RDRAM
Win 2000 Pro
Autocad 14, 2002 with EP 2.3.1

Thanks OZZY84

Good idea, but not really the answer, I know about the startup suite, but I need to know how to specifiy a long path name WITHIN the lisp program.

Any other info greatly recieved.

Cheers

I think what you are looking for is to always use double back-slashes in lisp paths (i.e. "C:\\Folder\\file.txt&quot

Hello,
I think at first this computer on a network needed to be mapped as disc for example F: on your computer. Then write in Lisp as usual:
"F:\\ARCHITECTS\\ACAD2002\\LISP\\LISPFILE.LSP"

Thanks Borgunit and Naujoke

The double // worked a treat, however.

What I am trying to achieve is to get a LISP file to load in another lisp file and then run it.

I am using the ACADDOC.LSP file to load a LISP file called MESSAGE.LSP which is located on my network drive (it now loads sucessfully thanks to // as per my previous quiery).

However, once the MESSAGE.LSP is loaded, it fails to run,
(command "message&quot although if loaded manually it runs fine.

Is there something I am missing about one lisp running another?

Try this:
(C:message)
