The octave path has spaces, you need to escape them

1. echo "1+1" | 'C:\Program Files\GNU Octave 2.1.50\bin\octave-2.1.50.exe' -q

or

2. add octave/bin to path
   echo "1+1" | octave-2.1.50.exe

or

3. Inline::Octave

   use Inline Octave => q{
     function showme(a); disp(a); endfunction
   }

   showme( 1+1 )
