procread

Install a Maple procedure

Syntax

• procread('filename')
  

Description

procread('filename') reads the specified file, which should contain the source text for a Maple procedure. It deletes any comments and newline characters, then sends the resulting string to Maple.

The Extended Symbolic Math Toolbox is required.

Examples

Suppose the file ident.src contains the following source text for a Maple procedure.

• ident := proc(A)
  #  ident(A) computes A*inverse(A)
     local X;
     X := inverse(A);
     evalm(A &* X);
  end;
  

Then the statement

• procread('ident.src') 
  

installs the procedure. It can be accessed with

• maple('ident',magic(3))
  

or

• maple('ident',vpa(magic(3)))
