and Quentin answered:

   I think there are usually easier ways to deal with this, as pointed out 
   in other responses to this thread. However, you are allowed to increment 
   elements of string variables in octave, so you could do a "magic 
   increment" doing something as simple as:

   octave:1> string = "abc";
   octave:2> string(end)+=1
   string = abd

It's not the same. In Perl, s="abz";s++ gives s="aca"; it really is magical :)
