With many thanks to the J programming forum, here is my solution to the
problems of (1) finding my script's path and (2) loading libraries
relative to that path:
NB. Load this file with "load 'Z:\blah\J-experiments\getpathsample.ijs'
NB. Then call the following as "pth =. getpath ''".
getpath =: 3 : 0
dirname=: #~ '/\' +./\...@e.~ ]
sourcepath=: dirname (4!:4<'dirname') {:: 4!:3''
sourcepath
)
NB. Now you can do the following in a J session
NB. pth =. getpath ''
NB. scriptpth =. pth,'..\J-experiments\loadable.ijs'
NB. load scriptpth
NB. x =. foobar '' NB. this function is defined in loadable.ijs
Thanks again for everyone's help (and forgive me if I am offending any
sensibilities...)!
