Dear Lyx-users and developers,
I need your help.
I want to refer to an external file in Latex-code in Lyx ERT.
How can that be done?

I would be very happy if anyone has an idea how to handle. Please answer!

I found out: It works only with absolute file path.
Can I define a macro, that gives me the absolute path of this Lyx file?

That would give the possibility to use lots of Latex-functions in lyx, for
example plot data (pgfplots) and animate pictures (animate) for beamer.

Example:
\documentclass{scrartcl}

%%% this in Lyx user-preamble: \usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage{pgfplots}

\begin{document}

%%% begin this in Lyx ERT %%%
\begin{tikzpicture}
    \begin{axis}
        \addplot file {myfile.txt};
    \end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
%%% end in Lyx ERT %%%

\end{document}

% myfile.txt:

%1    1
%2    2
%3    3
%4    2
%5    1
%6    2
