[GAP Forum] Simple read won't work in Microsoft Windows

[GARY LOMP]

OS: windows 7

file is C:/gap4r5/test_gap.g

command that refuses to execute is

Read( "C:/gap4r5/test_gap.g" );

The file was created in notepad and is a text file.

The file contains two lines:


A:=Factorial( 10 );
B:=Factorial( 20 );


The response is

gap> Read( "C:/gap4r5/test_gap.g" );
Error, file "C:/gap4r5/test_gap.g" must exist and be readable called 
from
<function "unknown">( <arguments> )
  called from read-eval loop at line 6 of *stdin*
you can 'quit;' to quit to outer loop, or
you can 'return;' to continue
brk>


The file exists and is a text file. Changing the drive letter to lower 
case changes nothing.



Thanks
