[Scilab-users] Problem with dos function

[arctica1963]

Hello,

I have an issue with the dos function for running an external program;
tested in 5.5.2 and 6.1.0 with same result:

--> [s,bOK]=dos('grdinfo crop1.grd')
 s  = 

    []
 bOK  = 

  T

The result of grdinfo is empty and should give the following if typed at the
command prompt:

D:\Geoscience\Scilab>grdinfo crop1.grd
crop1.grd: Title: Grid computed with Mirone
crop1.grd: Command:
crop1.grd: Remark: File written from Matlab
crop1.grd: Gridline node registration used [Geographic grid]
crop1.grd: Grid file format: nf = GMT netCDF format (32-bit float), CF-1.7
crop1.grd: x_min: 1.05833333333 x_max: 5.14166666667 x_inc: 0.0166666666667
(1 min) name: longitude n_columns: 246
crop1.grd: y_min: 3.84166666667 y_max: 7.90833333333 y_inc: 0.0166666666667
(1 min) name: latitude n_rows: 245
crop1.grd: z_min: -106.033233643 z_max: 131.578842163 name: z [unknown]
crop1.grd: scale_factor: 1 add_offset: 0
crop1.grd: format: netCDF-4 chunk_size: 246,245 shuffle: on deflation_level:
8

However, dos('dir','-echo') works and list the directory! Is there a bug or
a missing option to apply? In an earlier version (5.4.1) it worked fine.

Thanks

Lester
