Re: [Eclipse-clp-bugs] cannot/compile consult files with absolute path in windows

[Joachim S. <jsc...@co...>]

Hi Alexis,

All ECLiPSe built-in predicates expect file names in ECLiPSe's
OS-independent file name format.  You would have to write your
example as follows:

?- ['//c/Users/alexis/Documents/99prolog.pl'].

To convert from the Windows-syntax to ECLiPSe's format, you
can use os_file_name(EclipseName, WindowsName) see
http://www.eclipseclp.org/doc/bips/kernel/opsys/os_file_name-2.html

So the following will also work:

?- os_file_name(F, 'c:/Users/alexis/Documents/99prolog.pl'), [F].


Cheers,
Joachim
