HDL coder tutorial, !which ISE not recognized

Hi,

I am new to the HDL coder (I have a temporary licence) and I am following the tutorial to have something working to start with. After having set the path for the ISE I tried to confirm it by giving !which ise at Matlab prompt, but I got in response the message: 'which' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file .

!dir , just to mention another external command, works as expected.

Any idea? I'm using Matlab R2012a

Thanks, Alberto

The 'which' command is not part of a basic Windows install. It's a Unix utility that is frequently available on Windows through a third party set of tools. It returns the location of the binary that will be run should you try to run the argument of the 'which' command; in this case, ise.

Can you run ise from within MATLAB?

 >> !ise

If that starts up ISE, you are correctly configured. Starting up ISE will take somewhat longer than 'which', but will provide you with the same information.

It looks like I can run ISE from within Matlab with:

>> !ise

Thanks a lot for the explanation!
