Hello Ian,
Thanks for your support.
1.
First one is syntax error correct one is ‘cd(pathdir)’
2.
Added modified code
pathdir = fullfile(getenv('USERPROFILE'), 'Documents', 'OCTAVE');
if isdir(pathdir)
cd(pathdir);
else
mkdir(pathdir);
cd(pathdir);
end
even after above modification code is not setting current path as requested path. i observed that for a fraction code is setting current path as requested path
and after returning to default path.
Is there any other file in package resetting the path?
I need to set current Dir path while launching the tool.
Even after changing code its showing the current dir path as where the installation files are
Regards

Hello,
I am trying to set default path while launching the tool, same code working with Octave 4.0.3 and not working 4.2.1
Modified code if file “octaverc”, path: Octave-4.2.1\share\octave\site\m\startup
Added code:
cdsid = lower(getenv('USERNAME'));
pathdir = strcat('C:\Users\',cdsid,'\Documents\OCTAVE');
if isdir(pathdir)
cd(getenv(pathdir);
else
mkdir(pathdir);
cd(pathdir);
end
where cdsid is user name. after adding the above code default path not setting to expected one, instead default path is the folder where the Octave files are.
1.This cannot be the code that worked under 4.0.3 as
cd(getenv(pathdir);
is a syntax error. Did you mean
cd (pathdir);
2. Also it is poor practice to use strcat to construct paths. Use fullfile instead as this deals automatically with the path separator.
pathdir = fullfile('C:\Users', cdsid, 'Documents\OCTAVE');
3. Finally getenv('USERPROFILE') returns the user's home directory directly so
pathdir = fullfile(getenv('USERPROFILE'), 'Documents', 'OCTAVE');
would be the preferred way of doing what you want.
I don't know what your bug is but fix the above 3 points first and report back if still not working.
Cheers... Ian
