Re: how to use LOADPATH command

[Vinayak Dutt]

Here's a script that i made to change LOADPATH.

----------------- octavepath.m -----------------------
function p = octavepath(str)
%
% octavepath:
%
% p = octavepath(str)
%
% Set or Get the OCTAVE's LOADPATH variable
%
% if no argument is given, then it returns LOADPATH, else
% it sets LOADPATH to str
%
        global LOADPATH
        if ( nargin != 1)
                p = LOADPATH;   
        else
                LOADPATH=str;
        endif;
end
----------------- end of octavepath.m ---------------------

I then use this script to add paths to the default octave path. For example if
I want to add /home/vdp/octave to it I would use following commands:

p = octavepath();                               # obtain the current LOADPATH
octavepath([p ':/home/vdp/octave//']);  # update LOADPATH
