How to read a file from Gateway Events

Hi guys,

I have a script I run from the script console that reads a file from "C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Inductive Automation\Designer Launcher" just by passing the file name like "read_json_file("file_name.json")".

The problem is that I want to run this script from a gateway event daily, so I need to move the file to the gateway in "C." I would like to know how to pass the path "C:file_name.json" to the gateway event.

the script is


def read_json_file(file_name):
    try:
        with open(file_name) as json_file:
            return json.load(json_file)
    except IOError:
        print("Error: JSON file not found!")
        return None

ok It was easier of than I thought

just used "c://file_name.json" and it works.
