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

Calling Sequence

unix_w(cmd)

Parameters

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 MSDOS then
  unix_w("dir "+'""'+WSCI+"\demos"+'""'); 
else 
  unix_w("ls $SCI/demos");
end
