Hi,

I often use diary('filename') to print the results from my script files -
but diary off/on does not seem to work during the
execution of the script, which is a bit annoying (and different from how
MatLab works).

An example:

--------------------code starts here---------------------------
diary('diaryTst.out');
disp('Hello');

diary off;
for i = 1:100;
  disp(i);
end;
diary on;

disp('world');
diary off;
--------------------code ends here---------------------------


In MatLab this surpresses the printing during the loop; on Octave it
doesn't.


Sincerely,


Paul Soderlind
