How to go up two folders using relative path in %run?

[cmilligan]

I'm wanting to store a notebook with functions two folders up from the current notebook. I know that I can start the path with ../ to go up one folder but when I've tried .../ it won't go up two folders. Is there a way to do this?

Hi @Coleman Milligan​ 

Please try ../../notebook

If you need to go more levels you need to add ../

It is standard dox notations.

Basically

./notebook - same directory relative path

../notebook - one directory above your current directory

../../notebook - 2 directories above your current directory

../../../notebook - 3 directories up and so on......

Hope this helps

Cheers...

In order to access a notebook in the current folder use ../notebook_2

to go 2 folders up and access (say notebook "secret") use ../../secret
