Hi,

In both 2.1.10 and 2.1.12 the following fail:

octave-2.1.12:1> a="pois"
a = pois
octave-2.1.12:2> save po a
error: invalid conversion from string to real matrix
octave-2.1.12:2> 

in 2.1.7 it works OK:

octave-2.1.7:1> a="pois"
a = pois
octave-2.1.7:2> save po a
octave-2.1.7:3> a=""
a = 
octave-2.1.7:4> save po a
octave-2.1.7:5> quit

Joao
