Hi,

I have problems accessing data over a relative paths.


$ ls ../../../../data/mo_output/modell_original_output/test.dat
gives ../../../../data/mo_output/modell_original_output/test.dat

print,file_test('../../../../data/mo_output/modell_original_ output/test.dat')
0


Is there a work around known?
