I have several notebooks in Mathematica 3.0 that read in data from a
file in their directory. I can set the directory okay, although
sometimes it won't let me use a single SetDirectory[] command, and all
works well. When I go back and reopen the notebook at a later date,
Mathematica gives me an error. In the popup box, it says
There was a syntax error on line 3 of the cell expression. The error
was:
\(SetDirectory["\<workin~1\2dfigures\
It opens my file with the cell given as
Cell[BoxData[{
\(SetDirectory["\<c:\mydocu~1\scot\dissertation\>"]\),
\(SetDirectory["\<workin~1\2dfigures\>"]\)}], "Input"]
Where before saving, it read
SetDirectory["c:\mydocu~1\scot\dissertation"]
SetDirectory["workin~1\2dfigures"]
This occurs even when I only have a single SetDirectory[] command.
What is going wrong, and how do I fix it so I do not have to retype the
SetDirectory command everytime I want to reopen my document?
Thanks,
Scot
