Call getErrorString() to get messages

I already had getErrorString(); behind every line in the script, it doesnt seem to do much.

loadFile("model.mo");

getErrorString();

buildModel(model);

getErrorString();

system("model"); 

getErrorString();

just produces "failed" for me, if the model asserts. Calling it after i get "Failed" also produces nothing.

Are you on a Windows OS?
I remember, that the last time I tried system didn't return any output on Windows, at least from mingw shell.

You have to add an output file to get the output of the system command.
See system from the Scripting API.

Similar to system(3). Executes the given command in the system shell.

impure function system
  input String callStr "String to call: sh -c $callStr";
  input String outputFile = "" "The output is redirected to this file (unless already done by callStr)";
  output Integer retval "Return value of the system call; usually 0 on success";
end system;

For your example you probably want to do something like:

system("./model", "outPutFile.log"); getErrorString();

PS: There is a function to read files called readFile.
