Hello all:

I am attempting to create a table of graphs, but I am having issues loading the files within the current directory. I am using a Mac with Stata 15,

Following from Google advice, I first typed

cd "/Users/greghawrelak/Documents/Dissertation! "

Which then gives me this:

/Users/greghawrelak/Documents/Dissertation!

It does not provide me any error messages, and the working directory when I type pwd is:

/Users/greghawrelak/Documents/Dissertation!

This tells me that the working directory should be set correctly.

As per my issue, I have three graphs I am trying to merge into a table of graphs. However, when I type this code,

graph combine "/Users/greghawrelak/Documents/Dissertation! /Omnibus 2020_DemCon:Dem False.gph" "/Users/greghawrelak/Documents/Dissertation! /Omnibus2020_DemCon:Dem Possibly True.gph" "/Users/greghawrelak/Documents/Dissertation! /Omnibus2020_DemCon:Dem DefinitelyTrue.gph"

It provides me with this error output:

could not change to directory /Users/greghawrelak/Documents/Dissertation!
chdir(): 170 could not change directory
__pathmkabsolute(): - function returned error
__filemkabsolute(): - function returned error
<istmt>: - function returned error

My confusion is why this is happening given that my working directory appears to be set correctly. I do not have a very detailed programming knowledge, so any clarification anyone can provide is appreciated!
