Open notebook in current window

Azer Bajdzan
Posted 2 years ago

Is it possible to open a notebook in the current window?

This code opens the notebook in a new window but I want to reuse the window of the current notebook.

NotebookOpen[(*path to notebook*)]

You understand my question the right way. Or I can describe it by a web browser. You can open a link in a new window/tab or reuse current window in a web browser. If you open new link in current window and want to save it then the file name changes according to the new link name. Now do the same with notebooks in Mathematica instead of webpages in a web browser. Such a simple task and I wonder why they did not include such an option for NotebookOpen like, say, ReuseWindow->True.

Carl's suggestion on NotebookWrite can well be used. Since data can also be a complete notebook. An example:

Save the following notebook to the default directory ($HomeDirectory) and give it the name Example.nb

Then, evaluate this in another notebook:

NotebookWrite[EvaluationNotebook[], Import["Example.nb"]]

See the Wolfram documentation for NotebookWrite.

NotebookWrite writes data to the current notebook. It does not open particular notebook in the current window.
