mtlb_lower

Description

Matlab lower(A) and Scilab convstr(A,"l") behave differently in some particular cases:

• If A is not a character string matrix: Matlab lower can be used with a not-character-string A but not Scilab convstr.

The function mtlb_lower(A) is used by mfile2sci to replace lower(A) when it was not possible to know what were the inputs while porting Matlab code to Scilab. This function will determine the correct semantic at run time. If you want to have a more efficient code it is possible to replace mtlb_lower calls:

• If A is a character string matrix mtlb_lower(A) may be replaced by convstr(A,"l")

• If A is not a character string matrix mtlb_lower(A) may be replaced by A

Caution: mtlb_lower has not to be used for hand coded functions.
