Hi Samuel,
Good morning, please guide me how to update scilab so I can use the update
function: vectorfind.

I have writw access to Scilab installation directory
Gracias

There are several ways to include it in Scilab. All ways require first to download vectorfind.sci:

  * Go here: https://codereview.scilab.org/#/c/19055/
  * Click on the vectorfind.sci line
  * On the right green panel, click on the download icon ending the
    list of /Patch Set/, at the (not very) top of the panel. Unzip and
    save the .sci as /vectorfind.sci/ somewhere on your disk.

Then, if you just want to test vectorfind(), you must just do:

--> exec("path/to/vectorfind.sci",-1);

This will redefine it. But anyclear instruction can remove it (and automatically restore the default version).
You can do that in your personal startup file:
--> edit SCIHOME/scilab.ini
--> // Then add the exec(..) instruction, providing an absolute path, and save. --> // You will have then the new vectorfind for each forthcoming Scilab session,
--> // but still proned to erasing with "clear".
--> // You may also use

--> getd("path/to/vectorfind/dir")

--> // instead of the exec() instruction. See help getd()

If you wish to have it protected against "clear", you must


Arrr.., as usual, the proposed way is not enough to actually protect it in its own *vectorfindlib* library, because the *vectorfindlib* variable should be protected as well, and this is not possible <http://mailinglists.scilab.org/Scilab-users-Replacing-predef-with-an-actual-varprot-a-top-5-priority-for-Scilab-6-1-lt-At-last-prote-tt4036564.html#a4036565>.

So, the only protected solution would be to really replace vectorfind.sci in its SCI/modules/elementary_functions/macros native directory, and recompile the library (been scilab admin):

 * // save the default vectorfind.sci in a tmp dir (renaming as
   vectorfind_.sci is not enough)
   // replace it with the new proposed one
   // Then

   predef clear
   path = SCI+"/modules/elementary_functions/macros";
   genlib("elementary_functionslib", path)      // in Scilab 6
   // genlib("elementary_functionslib", path, %T)  // in Scilab 5

   // Then restart Scilab. It should be OK
