Current Page: NeXtMidas Training Working with Files File Names Name and AUX
- - | Accessing Files by Name (files in the read/write AUX): Files in the READ aux list can be accessed by name.
        nM> plot world.shp
        <Plots the world.shp file found in the DAT AUX>
- - A Midas file with the extension `.prm` or `.tmp` may be accessed without an extension. Use of this is discouraged as it causes problems when accessing files without an extension or when accessing files on the web. This feature may be removed from future versions of NeXtMidas. Accessing Files by Name and AUX (files in any AUX): When a file by the same name exists in multiple AUXes, it can be accessed by explicitly stating the AUX name.
        nM> plot world.shp
        <Plots the world.shp file found in the DAT AUX>
        nM> plot world.shp{AUX=MAP}
        <Plots the world.shp file from the MAP AUX>
