load('seed.js') gives an error

I get an error when I try to load seed.js file by using the load("address/seed.js") command..

Hyuns-MacBook-Pro:mongodb-osx-x86_64-3.2.6 HyunJaeCho$ ls

GNU-AGPL-3.0 README bin MPL-2 THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES treehouse-mongo-basics

Hyuns-MacBook-Pro:mongodb-osx-x86_64-3.2.6 HyunJaeCho$ load("treehouse-mongo-basics/seed.js")

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `"treehouse-mongo-basics/seed.js"'

I am using the correct address and not forgetting to include the address in quote marks.. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for your help!

Your syntax looks basically correct. Is that path name to your seed.js correct? From within a Mongo Shell you can check your current directory using the pwd() command and you might, therefore, need to alter your path information.

Post back with further questions and happy coding,

Dont use dot.

load('Desktop/(your-parth)/seed.js')
