run q script in kdb console

[DJ]

How can I run many commands from a file?

Or enter multi-line commands?

So far I have only been messing at the dos console.

Either use \l or system l to load q script files.

C:\>echo “show `helloWorld” >> hi.q

C:\>q

q)\l hi.q
“show `helloWorld”
q)system “l hi.q”
“show `helloWorld”

Multi-line commands are tricky, I would instead use the qStudio KDB GUI that allows highlighting the text you want and executing it.
