Matlab Script Files

I am not a good programmer, and only create = program=20 scripts to solve problems. I need only simple = variables, but=20 I use a lot of them! Assignment definition fies with 220 data and = formula=20 assignments must run first, and then I am ready = for direct=20 mode calculator use, and calling other prorgrams = to use the=20 established definitions.

No need for Matrix math etc. I need a good precision = Computer=20 Algebra System CAS, with 18 digit scientific notation, which can run = script=20 files, and do efficient copy and paste operations, and provide formatted = printout to print files, for later printing.

I need to edit (?1995) .m files created using Matlab = Student=20 Edition Version 5 to run in Octave GNU = 2.1.42.

Assignment statements and assignment formulas work, = but=20 formatted print statements do not. I also need to = find a=20 better way to paste formulas from Document files into Octave for = immediate=20 mode calculation, and for calling other .m files. = Could=20 someone show me how to do this programming in = Octave?=20

Alos, I can paste into the Octve Command window, but = this=20 requires a mouse move and 2 mouse clicks per paste = operation. I cannot find a way to paste into the Octave ghostscript = viewer=20 window.. Is there another viewer=20 available?

Examples=20 of assignments.

class_wavelen =3D 2*pi*class_radius;
class_freq =3D = light_speed/class_wavelen;
class_period =3D 1 / class_freq; =
class_capac =3D=20 (4*pi*epsilon0*class_radius);
w2 =3D class_wavelen
f0 =3D = class_freq
t0 =3D=20 class perio
c0 =3D=20 class_capac

fprintf('pri0',' Ohms \n')

% unitsx.m  =20
fprintf('prifile0','filename=3Dunits.m  =20 UNITS/DIMENSIONS/Definitions   =20 \n\n');
fprintf('prifile0','Newton =3D=20 Force           &n= bsp;           =20 kg*meter/sec^2=20 \n');

fprintf('\nthis program runs spac1, spac1cl, spac1cm, = and=20 spac1bo\n');
fprintf('before assigning short variable names to those = defined=20 earlier.\n\n');

I will be thankful for any help!

(I use the CAS to for calculations to develop and = check my=20 Condensed Photon Theory)
