From help-request at octave dot org Fri Mar 3 05:52:52 2006 Subject: Re: new octave From: Miquel Cabanas To: hugo1981 Cc: help at octave dot org Date: Fri, 03 Mar 2006 12:58:13 +0100 hi Octave is so smart that you don't have to write "..." to indicate that the command continues in the next line. For instance, octave:1> myfilter = [ > 100, 200, 300 > ] myfilter = 100 200 300 The only? exception is when pressing the return key immediately after the "=" sign in an assignment, then, either you type the 3-dots or you get a syntax error, i.e. octave:2> myfilter = ... > [ > 100, 200, 300 > ] myfilter = 100 200 300 octave:3> myfilter = parse error: syntax error >>> myfilter = ^ I assume there must be a good reason to keep this exception. Miquel PS I'm not going to mention that is an octave list and that your post is clearly off-topic, but I guess someone will say so.
