Is there a way to use parameters in LOAD CSV command?

I have a Cypher script to populate a Neo4j (2.2.3) database. Currently, the names of all CSV files are hardcoded. Is there a way to parameterize CSV files if I would like to switch to another web server or switch to the local filesystem?

Update

I forgot to mention that my use case is via neo4j-shell. Is there a way to define parameters for use by the wrapper or can only be done through the REST API? Thank!

You can use parameters in the shell, just export them as environment variables. List them with env

:



export name=Tim
env
match (p:Person {firstName:{name}}) return p;

Yes, the url of the CSV file is a string in the Cypher request, so you can parameterize it like any other Cypher request. Check out the docs here and here .
