From help-octave-request at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Fri Feb 1 10:16:49 2002 Subject: Cells? From: "Michael W. Martin" To: Victor Munoz Date: Fri, 1 Feb 2002 08:55:03 -0600 Greetings, Our in-house simulation written in C reads certain data files that have entries such as this: Some_variable = { 1.2, 2.3, 3.4 }; This, of course, is the same format as matlab's cells and it is fairly easy to get matlab to read these files. Octave seems to be another matter. My present version of octave is 2.1.35. It ACCEPTS this data form well enough, and it will even correctly print the data form. However, it will not allow any extraction of the data into anything useful, at least not one that I could find. Not matter how I assign the elements of the cell, it produces a cell which cannot be manipulated computationally. I get the impression that creation of cells is supported, but not their manipulation. Suggestions? Hints? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael W.
