simple filename syntax question

[tufofi]

I currently have this simple line of code that points to my symbol library file.

(setq dwg "c:\\subdirectory\\symbol_library.dwg")

I now wish to move the file to one of my domains but am having difficulties with the syntax

Can somebody correct the line below for me?

(setq dwg "http:\\www.mydomain\\symbol_library.dwg")

Thank You

Perhaps this will be of help to you:

update block from a website (Autocad 2006)

Thank you,

I saw that solution already, and it is an alternative.

but I was hoping not to leave any big footprints on my customers' machines, especially with large files.

I figured since the insert command lets me use local files all the time, a URL with the correct syntax set to a lisp variable solves my problems.

do i simply have slash / direction \\ and domain syntax problem?

The example I provide in the linked page uses this syntax:

I hope this answers your question.
