evaluates Scilab expressions and concatenates their results
H = evstr(M) H = evstr(list(M, subExpr)) [H, ierr] = evstr(..)
single or vector or matrix of character strings: Scilab expressions to be evaluated and results to be concatenated.
vector of character strings: sub-expressions to be pre-evaluated, defining
quantities used in M
expressions.
single element, vector, or matrix of concatenated results.
an integer, error indicator.
Evaluates expressions set in M
. Then, concatenates their results
to build H
.
All expressions are assumed to yield results of compatible types and sizes with respect to their concatenation.
If the evaluation of M
expressions or the concatenation of their
results leads to an error, H = evstr(M)
yields the error as usual.
To avoid stopping to run next Scilab instructions,
[H, ierr] = evstr(M)
can be used to catch the error.
H
is then set to []
and ierr
returns 999
or another non-null positive code.
If M
is provided through a list, Scilab expressions set in
subExpr
are evaluated before evaluating M
.
The results of these subexpressions must be referred to as %(k)
in M
, where k
is the subexpression's index in
subExpr
.

Version | Description |
5.3.0 | "Nan" and "NaN" are now parsed as %nan .
"Inf" and "INF" are now parsed as %inf . |
6.0.1 | Simple comments are now supported in almost all possible input expressions,
whatever is the shape of M . |
