mtlb_dir — Matlab dir emulation function
Matlab and Scilab dir
behave differently:
When result is stored in a variable: Matlab dir
returns a structure but Scilab
dir
returns a 'dir' tlist, so data can not be extracted in the same way.
The function mtlb_dir([path])
is used by
mfile2sci
to replace dir([path])
when output is stored in a variable.
There is no replacement possibility for it, else (when mtlb_dir
is replaced by dir
)
data can not be extracted like in Matlab. For example, Scilab equivalent for Matlab
L=dir;file_name=L(1).name;
is L=dir();file_name=L.name(1);
.
Caution: mtlb_dir
has not to be used for hand coded functions.
