Loading a file unter Windows

I am a complete beginner in SageMath. I would like to write a small program in a seperate file and load this into sage. In the German user manual I found the syntax load("beispiel.sage"). But this cannot work, since the program does not know where to look for the file. So I have to tell it the complete path. I tried a lot of different commands, like e.g. load("C:\Users\annegret\Documents\beispiel.sage") or load(`C:\Users\annegret\Documents\beispiel.sage´). I am working unter Windows with the console.

If using a local path, it has to be relative to the present working directory which you can obtain by typing pwd in the sage command line.

sage: pwd

Otherwise, I cannot confirm since I do not have access to a Windows machine, but I would suggest to try to use double backlashes or use raw strings with the small r in front:

sage: load("C:\\Users\\annegret\\Documents\\beispiel.sage")

sage: load(r"C:\Users\annegret\Documents\beispiel.sage")

because '\n', '\b', '\U' , '\t' are meant to be characters with special meanings like new lines, tabulations, etc. See this page on Litterals from Python doc for details.

Thank you. That was helpful. I am now using the relative path to the sage working directory and that works. I use e.g. load("./Documents/test.sage").
