What were you trying to do?
print a file in matlab using the print('printername') command
What's wrong:
I got the following message:
>> print('nil')
getwd: read error in ..
(Did you su in a fascist directory?)
I was running this from /mit/lnp/classes/1.101/project/analysis
which is a world readable directory.
Also, this is a rather clueless message. Why does it have to cd
anywhere when all it's doing is sending stuff to the printer. It's not
even saving the file.
What should have happened:
It should have printed my file.
