[scilab-Users] Looking for a function

[Mathieu Dubois]

Hello Sébastien,

Thanks to Gianluca I gave a second look to your message.

I think that mlist and function overloading fit your needs (see 
attachment and scilab's help).

Please note that I'm not an expert in scilab's mlist so this code comes 
"as is" with no express or implied warranty for accuracy or 
accessibility, blah, blah, blah,...

HTH,
Mathieu
