[Scilab-users] Difference in output from mtlb_dir function between 6.0.2 and 6.1.1

[Chris O'Shannassy]

Hi;

I just installed SciLab 6.1 on my Mac, and unfortunately I’ve tripped over running doing my first task.  I have a few small scripts which work fine under 6.0.2, using the mtlb_dir command to get a file list to process.  It seems like the output of the mtlb_dir command under 6.1 is different from that of 6.0.2 - which is causing my subsequent commands to fail.  I can rework the scripts so they don’t rely on mtlb_dir, but I thought I should flag it as an issue.

Sample output under 6.0.2:
--> mtlb_dir
 ans =

831x1 struct array with fields:
 dims
 name
 date
 bytes
 isdir


--> ver
 ans =

And under 6.1:
mtlb_dir
