Hello,
I have a very problem which I am sure has a very simple solution but I don't seem to find it. I have a journal file and in that file I read meshes and journals from another folder. I want to make a variable called path to the folder and only add the file name when I do the reading. What I want to do is

(define path "/home/.../working_folder/")
file/read-mesh (string-append path "my_mesh.msh")
file/read-journal (string-append path "my_journal.jou")

But read-mesh tries to read (string-append...
Same thing if I do

(define path "/home/.../working_folder/")
(define full_path (string-append path "my_mesh.msh"))
file/read-mesh full_path

"Error: File "full_path" not found!"

I am in a Linux environment.

Thanks

there is no macros read-mesh, use read-case instead
you may try to use this function

(ti-menu-load-string (format #f "file r-c  ~a OK\n" (string-append path "my_mesh.msh")))
