Undefined Variable: repmat in Scilab

Question

repmat is supposed to be a builtin function in scilab, yet when I try to run my script using the batch launcher scilab.bat -ns -f myfile.sce, I get the error message

Undefined Variable: repmat

This is a fresh install of Scilab 6.0.1 on Windows 10. I've run the command from cygwin and also tried to execute the script using the GUI that popped open.

diag for example is available. flipdim, which is also among the matrix manipulations is also not though.

Clicking File > Open a file in the GUI results in

Undefined variable: main_menubar_cb

The problem was that I executed my script in the GUI that opened after the command scilab.bat -ns -f myfile.sce. Closing that GUI and opening it through the windows search worked!

Running it with scilab.bat -f myfile.sce also worked.

It seems to be the -ns flag that is the issue.
scilab.bat --help states:

  -nw              : Enable console mode.
  -nwni            : Enable terminal mode.
  -ns              : Don't execute etc/scilab.start.
  --help           : Display this help.

Thus, that makes sense.

The flags I would have wanted to see the output in my terminal would have been -nw -f instead.

Solution: Use scilab.bat -nw -f myfile.sce instead.
