SETPATH Set Current Search Path

Usage

Changes the current FreeMat search path. The general syntax for its use is

  setpath(y)

where y is a string containing a delimited list of directories to be searched for M files and libraries. The delimiter between the paths depends on the system being used. For Win32, the delimiter is a semicolon. For all other systems, the delimiter is a colon.

@Example The setpath function is straightforward.

--> getpath
ans = 
  <string>  - size: [1 47]
 /localhome/basu/FreeMat2/help/mtex/../../MFiles
--> setpath('/usr/local/FreeMat/MFiles:/localhome/basu/MFiles')
--> getpath
ans = 
  <string>  - size: [1 48]
 /usr/local/FreeMat/MFiles:/localhome/basu/MFiles
