- system:
-
- Syntax: system ( "command" )
-
- Description:
-
- The system function behaves like the the UNIX system call. The
- string argument to system is passed directly to the
- bourne-shell for execution. The program waits until the
- system call is finished.
-
- Example:
-
- > system( "vi test.r" )
-
- will allow the user to edit (create) the file test.r. When the
- vi process is finished the user will be back at the RLaB
- prompt.
-
- > rfile test
-
- will then load the result of the vi process.
