## SETPATH Set Current Search Path

Section: Operating System Functions

### Usage

Changes the current FreeMat search path. The general syntax for its use is

      setpath(y)

where `y` is a `string` containing a delimited list of directories to be searched for M files and libraries. The delimiter between the paths depends on the system being used. For Win32, the delimiter is a semicolon. For all other systems, the delimiter is a colon. @Example The `setpath` function is straightforward.
