hi<br>
<br>
as far as I understand, there are two reasons this does not work<br>
<br>
first, there are spaces in the path you give to cd, so you should
use double strings as in the next example:<br>
<pre wrap="">[a,b,c] = dos('cd ""C:\Documents and Settings\haasejos\Desktop\""' , '-echo');
anyway, scilab won't change the current directory using dos("cd"), but you can still use other commands as:
[a b c]=dos('dir ""C:\Documents and Settings\""' , '-echo');
to check that dos and the "" "" thing actually work
cheers

That does not work as can be seen with the pwd-command.
Is there a bug in this commandline?
*cd ('C:\Documents and Settings\haasejos\Desktop\');* changes the directory
correctly.
thank you!
