In Mini Micro, the load command loads a program into memory from disk. Syntax:
load path
This replaces the current program in memory with the MiniScript file at path. Caution: any unsaved changes in your previous program are lost without warning.
The path may be a full (absolute) path, or a partial path relative to the current working directory. Note that the file extension (.ms) is optional in bothsaveandload.
Examples
The following loads theMatrix.ms located in the /sys/demo directory on the system disk, and then runs it.
load "/sys/demo/theMatrix"
run
The next example shows a useful pattern when using an external editor to work on a program. After each edit (outside of Mini Micro), clear the environment, reload, and run the program with a compound command like this:
reset; load "myProgram"; run
