I am trying to access a file on a network drive using a UNC name in the path, but CAL does not recognize the path.


Solution:

There are two issues here.

1. You will need to add a third backslash to access the network drive using UNC naming. For example:

\\\servername\somepath\somefile.txt

2. This will work fine if you are not using a variable in the name of the path. If you are using a variable, you will have to define two backslashes as a variable, like:

setval 2 \
setval 1 (your filename)
launch $v2$path\$v1$
