Q:

Loading a big script into neo4j IDE

I have a very large .cypher file of 20K lines.  When I use the IDE it will only accept 400 lines at a time.  this is very long winded.  Is there a way I can get neo4j to accept the cypher file in one go, or alternatively, is there another format I can use? 

A:

Have you tried the neo4j-shell?  You can usually paste it in there, or pipe it into the shell if you are on Linux/OSX...

A:

A 20k line cypher file which contains only a single statement is not likely to be parsed successfully.  
I recommend breaking it up into smaller statements separated by a Semicolon and using Neo4jShell -file with it. 
If you installed Neo4j Desktop on Windows you can find the steps to run the shell here: http://www.markhneedham.com/blog/2013/11/29/neo4j-the-case-of-windows-neo4j-desktop-and-the-invisible-text/
