Hi,

there is a form of the system command which gives your the output as
return variable rather than printing it out:
> [status,output] = system('ls');
Have a look at "help system" for more details, there are other
possibilites, you can e.g. also use "system('ls',true);"
You seem to use windows, I hope it works there as well.

HTH,
