(Thanks Geraint Paul Bevan for the suggestion, that solved the problem.)

Hello,

Matlab supports the following:

x=[1, 2, 3, 4]
y(:,:,:,:)=[x, x, x, x]

Octave supports it for two indices, e.g.:
y(:,:)=[x, x]

But for more than two indices, it fails with an error like this:

error: invalid number of indices (4) for indexed assignment

Is there a convenient work around for this?

Thanks!
Rich
