external (! echo $PATH) in Matlab for MacOSX

Hi:

I am using several scripts.m in matlab. These scripts use external terminal commands located in several directories.

The problem is that the "!echo $PATH" answer is different when starting matlab by double click and starting matlab as a terminal command

double click:

>> !echo $PATH

/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

terminal command:

>> !echo $PATH

/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin

How can I change this behaviour?

Regards

J - I observe the same behaviour...but why is that important? How are you using !echo $PATH in your code?

Hi Geoff:

Both paths are different. The problem is not the !echo PATH command

This is important because in my code, I use some terminal commands.

The commands are found when MATLAB uses the second path, not the first one.

What I wanted to know is how can I configure MATLAB for using the same path in both cases. When starting MATLAB from the terminal, the path is obtained from bash. But I dont know how to get this path when staring MATLAB by clicking on Finder.

Hi Geoff:

You edited my question as yours. What happened?. is this a mistake?

I just deleted your answer and made it into a comment (since it wasn't an answer to the question). Just like your "answer" here should be a comment to the thread above.
