listfiles — list files
files= listfiles(paths [,flag,flagexpand])
a string matrix giving a set of pathnames (eventually ended by a pattern built with *)
boolean optional parameters. (default value %t).
a string matrix.
listfiles can be used to list the files which match
the patterns given by one of the paths entries.
Patterns are given to the unix ls or to the windows
dir commands in order to get information on files.
Thus in order to write portable Scilab script valid wildcard patterns
for both os are to be given. Note that Pathname conversion is
performed and for example SCI/core/macros/*.sci is a valid
pattern for both unix and windows.
if flag is true the pathnames given by paths are
converted according to the MSDOS value (See pathconvert).
Moreover, if flagexpand is true leading strings like
HOME, SCI or ~ are expanded using environment
variables.
