cd command and !cd command give different path

Hi,

I have a problem on Matlab regarding cd and !cd command.

On Matlab, I choose a working folder which is in the following path:

C:\Temp

Typing cd command, I got:

C:\Temp

while, typing !cd, I got:

C:\Users

Thanks for the support.

Those are two different situations

• cd runs the Matlab function cd and retrieves the current directory that Matlab is using
• !cd starts a shell from your operating system and runs its cd command (so the Windows command cd in your case)

It isn't really obvious why those two would match. If you create a notepad.m function the results would be drastically different between notepad and !notepad.
