<p>Hi Scilabers</p>
<p>I have almost always included a neat piece of code in my Scilab
scripts, so that I can later dump the plots into e.g. SVG or PNG
files (script path is not write-protected). The code doesn't work
anymore:</p>
<pre style="font-family:Monospaced;font-style:normal;font-size:12.0;"><span style="color:rgb(100,174,100);font-style:italic;">// Extract the filename and path of this script:</span>

<p>The above code returns an empty string in scriptpath. I'm using
Scilab 6.0.1 (Windows 10) and I wonder what I should do instead?<br>
