Re: Is there a way to load a q-script from the internet without saving it at disk?

Hi vivo,

To load a q script it needs to be loaded from the local disk.

You could also use .Q.hg to download the file directly into your process with either of the following as examples:

q)"rn" vs .Q.hg `:https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KxSystems/kdb/master/sp.q 
/or 
q)ssr[;"rn";""] .Q.hg `:https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KxSystems/kdb/master/sp.q

However with this approach you’d need a lot of customization per code block to execute it locally.

If you are downloading the script to the local q process, why would you not store it on disk anyway? For example, re-loading later instead of multiple downloads.

Kind regards,

David
