executes some Windows, Linux or MacOS instructions: output in Scilab's console
unix_w(commands)
A single text: instruction(s) Windows, Linux or MacOS to be executed.
unix_w(…)
opens a new session of the Operating System (OS) command
interpreter (sh with Linux, cmd.exe with
Windows, etc..), sends commands
to it,
lets it processing commands
instructions, receives the standard
output and possible error message yielded by the processing, and closes the interpreter
session.
The starting working directory and environment variables of the opened interpreter are set as described for host().
The standard output returned by the OS is displayed in Scilab's console ("_w" stands for the main Scilab's "Window").
If an instruction in commands
generates an error,
unix_w
stops and displays its own error message in the
Scilab console.commands
, the remaining unprocessed instructions are ignored.![]() | The effects of valid instructions processed before the erroneous one remain actual
(for instance, deleted files). However, their standard output is lost: It is not
displayed in the Scilab console. |
commands
with multiple instructions are not recommended.
They are more difficult to debug.if getos() == 'Windows' then unix_w("dir "+'""'+WSCI+"\modules"+'""'); else unix_w("ls $SCI/modules"); end | ![]() | ![]() |
