Hi!!=20
I have a sequence with 3 or 4 internal sequences.
I would like to change the active directory by using one of the
URL's in my sequence.
eg: paths[6]
when I try i =3D chdir(paths[6])
it doesn't do anything
when i try
i =3D chdir("paths[6]")
it doesn't do anything. How can I put info from a sequence into the =
chdir command?
HELP! Its drivin me crazy.
Thanks

The above is the correct syntax. Try changing it to:
? chdir(paths[6])
and see what prints out. If it's -1, then the path is in error.
Maybe you're not escaping the slash marks?
e.g. one of the paths might be C:\EUPHORIA, which should be
written C:\\EUPHORIA in order to work.

This will never work.
