Windows, drives, and Machine.add
Have any ChucK windows users figured out how to accomplish Machine.add with a fully-qualified path name that includes the drive letter? Machine.add("C:/Users/rebecca/tmp.ck") results in error "[C]: no such file or directory" and Machine.add("C\:/Users/rebecca/tmp.ck") results in error [tmp2.ck]:line(2): unrecognized escape sequence '\:' I know you can leave off the C: entirely and it will work, but my concern is the situation where different files to be added live on different drives. Thoughts? Thanks! Rebecca
Have you tried C:\\Users\\rebecca\\.tmp.ck?
I'm guessing \ is an escape character, so \\ would be a literal backslash.
Just a guess though since I'm a Mac user.

Another guess, based on what my programs look like when I run SAS on a PC.
Where you're using a forward slash, I use a back slash. For example:
"m:\sample\705615\input\file1.txt"
all single slashes.
Good luck. Best, Laurie

The source code in chuck-1.2.1.3 that processes the argument to Machine.add
is expecting to parse a filename and optional arguments using colons to
separate the filename and arguments, but it also looks like it's trying to
allow \: to escape a colon.

Machine.add("C:/Users/rebecca/tmp.ck") results in error "[C]: no such file or directory"
[tmp2.ck]:line(2): unrecognized escape sequence '\:'
That happens, most probably, because the Chuck parser is attempting to
That happens because the colon is treated the separator between the file name and an argument. and Machine.add("C\:/Users/rebecca/tmp.ck") results in error translate escape sequences into characters, long before even constructing the call to Machine.add(). Try Machine.add("C\\:/Users/rebecca/tmp.ck") that will let the escape sequence parse parse \\ into \, and then the argument parser will see \: and leave your filename alone. -- rec --
