ls — show files
ls path options files=ls( [path] )
a string matrix giving a directory pathname (eventually ended
by a pattern built with *). Default value is .
a string column vector. By default it contains a column
formatted output. if one of the option is
'-1'. files contains an entry for each
files
ls can be used to list the files which match
the patterns given by the path argument.
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/modules/core/macros/*.sci is a valid
pattern for both unix and windows.
If you want to get a vector of all files matching a pattern use preferabily the listfiles or the dirfunction.
Please note that starting from the version 5.0 of Scilab, the second input argument has been removed (a sequence of strings which can be added under Unix systems: the Unix ls command options). This option has been removed mainly for security and portability reasons.
