Virtual drive as current directory in MATLAB

Hi,

I have created a virtual drive in OS command prompt using "subst" as Z. I need to set this Z as my current directory in MATLAB. However, MATLAB does not recognize the virtual drive created. Please give your inputs to solve this.

Thanks Nirmal

Please post the complete relevant code, such we can reproduce the problem exactly - or find the bug in your code.

Map.cmd is located in the folder "E:\Project"

Made a virtual drive Z by executing Map.cmd file with the following code:

"subst Z: /d

subst Z: .

pause"

Now a virtual drive Z is created in the computer which maps to the directory "E:\Project".

Now I try to access the directory using Current directory in MATLAB, but, Browse does not show the drive Z. Even "cd Z:" gives me the following error:

"??? Error using ==> cd

Cannot CD to Z: (Name is nonexistent or not a directory)."

Please try this from inside Matlab:

system('subst Z: /d')
system('subst Z: E:\Project')
cd Z:
