Purpose¶
Changes working directory in interactive mode.

-
chdir dirstr - Parameters:
dirstr (literal or ^string) – directory to change to.
Examples¶
Example with literal¶
If your current working directory is C:\gauss\time-series and you enter:
chdir examples;
Then chdir will change your current working directory to C:\gauss\time-series\examples.
Example with string¶
If your current working directory is C:\gauss\time-series and you enter:
dir = "examples";
// The ^ operator tells GAUSS to use
// the contents of the string
chdir ^dir;

If the directory change fails, chdir prints an error message.
