Hello Samuel, Yes I did try the powershell option and it is the same response, the program runs (boolean result is true) but the result is not resolved in the output.
The external program is using GMT (Generic mapping tools) and so that needs to be installed to test this issue. I also installed 5.4.1 to check and that also gives the same problem. I checked the function in Octave (5.1.0) which looks the same as Scilab and it gives the proper result: https://octave.sourceforge.io/octave/function/dos.html >> dos('grdinfo crop1.grd') crop1.grd: Title: Grid computed with Mirone crop1.grd: Command: crop1.grd: Remark: File written from Matlab crop1.grd: Gridline node registration used [Geographic grid] crop1.grd: Grid file format: nf = GMT netCDF format (32-bit float), CF-1.7 crop1.grd: x_min: 1.05833333333 x_max: 5.14166666667 x_inc: 0.0166666666667 (1 min) name: longitude n_columns: 24 6 crop1.grd: y_min: 3.84166666667 y_max: 7.90833333333 y_inc: 0.0166666666667 (1 min) name: latitude n_rows: 245 crop1.grd: z_min: -106.033233643 z_max: 131.578842163 name: z [unknown] crop1.grd: scale_factor: 1 add_offset: 0 crop1.grd: format: netCDF-4 chunk_size: 246,245 shuffle: on deflation_level: 8 ans = 0 I have looked at the Octave file, but it uses a "system" function which is not the same in Scilab: function [status, text] = dos (command, echo_arg) if (nargin < 1 || nargin > 2) print_usage (); endif status = 1; text = ""; ## FIXME: Should this be ispc ()? There may be an issue with MinGW if (! isunix ()) [status, text] = system (command); if (nargin > 1 || nargout == 0) printf ("%s\n", text); endif endif endfunction Where is the dos function in Scilab? Not sure if it is relevant, but testing on Windows 8.
