Mazyar,

I do not know anything (well almost anything) about Windows, but
your example works just fine on my computer (linux/x86 , octave-2.1.42).

What does 'help lookup' tell you?

In my case:

lookup is the user-defined function from the file
/usr/local/share/octave/2.1.42/site/m/octave-forge/general/lookup.m

usage: idx = lookup(table, y)

...

If it tells you something like:

help: sorry, `lookup' is not documented

then your octave package is incomplete (actually both ppval and lookup
are from octave-forge which is an add-on to the main octave package).

Regards,

Dmitri.
