unix_w

shell (sh) command execution, output redirected to scilab window

Syntax

unix_w(cmd)

Arguments

cmd

a character string

Description

Sends a string cmd to Unix for execution by the sh shell. The standard output is redirected to scilab window. Unix execution errors are trapped.

*NOTE* that only the last shell command error is reported when a list of command separated by ";" is sent: this is not recommended.

Examples

if getos() == 'Windows' then
  unix_w("dir "+'""'+WSCI+"\modules"+'""');
else
  unix_w("ls $SCI/modules");
end
