Description

c = pathsep returns the search path separator character for this platform. The search path separator is the character that separates path names in the pathdef.m file, as returned by the path function. The character is a semicolon (;). For versions of MATLAB software earlier than version 7.7 (R2008b), the character on UNIX^[1] platforms was a colon (:). Use pathsep to work programmatically with the content of the search path file.
