When calling for example fpsystem( 'cat /proc/partitions' ); the lines are not beginning at the 1st character of the next lineInstead of Line1 Line2 Line3 like in the Linux shell The output is: Line1 Line2 Line3 and so on What is the reason?
You've not told us what OS etc. you're running. This is the sort of thing I'd expect to see if the program were running on a unix system that generated \n (LF) at the end of each line, but you had a misconfigured terminal emulator that was currently expecting CR LF. You could get this if the terminal emulator were on Windows, but a particular case on any platform is where for some reason the TE or console has been set to raw (or similar) mode; there's commands to sort this out but often the safest way is to restart the session.
