[scilab-Users] Accents on printf - and also on input

Wed Sep 30 02:07:16 CEST 2009

Thanks, François.

By the way, there is also a (perhaps related) bug with the input statement.
The statement:

s = input("s =  ","string")

shows the following behaviour on Scilab when you type a string with special
characters:

s =  François
 s  =

 Fran

If you try this you will also note that the leading blanks on "s =  " only
appear after you press Enter.

I hope the development team will fix these bugs soon. In Brazil, as in
France, we need to deal with special characters all the time.

This is not a Scipad bug. It is a Scilab 5 bug.

Proof: put your code:

> n = 5;
> printf("\n%d! est égal à %d",n,factorial(n))

in a file printfbug.sce and then from Scilab:

-->exec "printfbug.sce";

5! est égal à %d
-->

Well, you have just found a regression in Scilab 5 that does not
happen with Scicoslab.
