  q check/load csv with file name including "-"

  Posted by renbright on August 22, 2023 at 12:00 am

  I would like to load csv files and save it to kdb. Bute file name is like file-20230818.csv, which might not be recognized by q.  How can I deal with the symbol “-“?

  thanks

  Use `$ to cast a string to a symbol

  `$":file-with-dash.csv"
