Running Julia .jl files

Question

I'm new to julia and just finished my first program. I wrote the code in julia-studio and have been testing it within that program. It gives me all of the correct output, but the shell separates the output as if it is two different executions.

I'm wondering if it's a problem with my compiler, so I thought I would try compiling it in the default julia shell found at julialang.org.

However, I cannot understand and/or figure out how to run it there. My current program reads input from another file in the same directory and outputs the results.

Can anyone explain how to run the program. This http://julia.readthedocs.org/en/latest/manual/getting-started/ isn't making sense to me.

Example output:

 julia> program  #  #  #  #    julia>   #  #  #  #  # 

The # represents integer numbers. Ideally the output should not be seperated by "julia>"

Answer 1

If you want to run the julia script from a command line then just do

/path/to/julia script-name.jl 

In the shell of your choice.

If you want to run it from the julia repl then you want something like so:

julia> include("path/to/script-name.jl") 

As to why your output is split like that I think we would need to see your code.

Answer 2

You can chmod your script and put the path to the julia binary at the to line.

Consider the following simple script hello.jl

#!/usr/bin/julia println("Hello world") 

change permission on the script using

chmod a+x hello.jl 

Run the script using ./hello.jl
