My Get ( << ) doesn't work when path is in variable : why?

Question

Take this code :

    nomFichier = 
  "C:\\Users\\Me\\Dropbox\\testFile.wdx";

<<  nomFichier;
<<  "C:\\Users\\Me\\Dropbox\\testFile.wdx";

The first line works whereas the second one doesn't : why ?

The error is :

Get::noopen: Cannot open nomFichier.

Answer 1

According to the documentation:

<<"name" is equivalent to <<name. The double quotes can be omitted if 
the name is of the form specified in "Operator Input Forms".

So, << treats the literal expression as a file name.

Get[expression]

works, but the << form even ignores Evaluate.
