## 2.21 `GET` command

### 2.21.1 Syntax

`GET` filename

### 2.21.2 Purpose

Gets an existing circuit file, after clearing memory.

### 2.21.3 Comments

The first comment line of the file being read is taken as the `title'. See the `title` command.
Comments in the circuit file are stored, unless they start with `*+` in which case they are thrown away.
`Dot cards' are set up, but not executed. This means that variables and options are changed, but simulation commands are not actually done. As an example, the `options` command is actually performed, since it only sets up variables. The `ac` card is not performed, but its parameters are stored, so that a plain `ac` command will perform the analysis specified in the file.
Any circuit already in memory will be erased before loading the new circuit.

### 2.21.4 Examples

`get amp.ckt`
  Get the circuit file `amp.ckt` from the current directory.
`get /usr/foo/ckt/amp.ckt`
  Get the file `amp.ckt` from the `/usr/foo/ckt` directory.
`get npn.mod`
  Get the file `npn.mod`.
