Hello *,

sometimes it is convenient to comment every line
in a column vector, e.g.:

ParameterVector = [ 1;    % First parameter
                    2;    % Second parameter
                    3];   % Last parameter

But Octave does not like that:

-----------------------------------------

octave:1> ParameterVector = [ 1;    % First parameter
 
parse error:
 
  ParameterVector = [ 1;    % First parameter
 
-----------------------------------------

It's certainly not a bug. However this sort of thing seems to work in
an Octave-look-alike I used to work with ... :-)


Octave version         : 1.0
Content of ~/.octaverc :

implicit_str_to_num_ok = "true";
do_fortran_indexing    = "true";
save_precision         = 6;

System                 : SunOS 4.1.3_U1

Thanks 

Georg
