shell (sh) command execution, output redirected to scilab window
unix_w(cmd)
:cmd a character string :
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.
if `getos`_() == 'Windows' then
unix_w("dir "+'""'+WSCI+"\modules"+'""');
else
unix_w("ls $SCI/modules");
