[Scilab-users] Trouble with 5.4.0 on MacOSX 10.8.3

[Bruno JOFRET]

Hi,

There is definitely an error in syntax here :

deletefile(SCIHOME+/'scinotesConfiguration.xml')


The / (slash) must be within ' (quote) in order to use + (plus) as 
string contatenation.

the right syntax is

deletefile(SCIHOME+'/scinotesConfiguration.xml').

Regards,
