You can use 'load to convert the string.

load  "%/path/file"
== %/path/file

type? load  "%/path/file"
== file!

If you actually want to convert the string to a file type use:

file: to-file "/path/file"

Note: Don't include the % at the beginning of the string.


Thanks for the Help.  Load does the job.

Hmm, I always used 'to-file. The 5/% key is broken on my (other) keyboard.

file: to-file "/path/file"
