By "underneath", I mean do like I am now.

at your octave console type "version" to get the actual version of
Octave that QtOctave is using.

I think it is very likely that your installation is missing strsplit,
I just looked it up. It is only 16 months old.

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/log/3c59ce262c66/scripts/strings/strsplit.m

If you still want to do something based on my example (rather than
take jwe's advice) you can upgrade Octave, or you can rewrite my
example using split instead of strsplit. If you want to do this type
"help split" to get started.
