Hi Juan and d.tchin,
One thing I'd like to ask for advice about is the behaviour of tabular
data structures containing strings. For example
#+begin_src octave
ans = [['a','b'];['c','d']]
#+end_src
#+results:
: acbd
I don't know if my syntax above is correct, but it seems to me that this
is a 2x2 table of some sort and so it would seem natural to me for that
to return
| a | b |
| c | d |
however, if you look at the code we are using below, you'll see that
ischar() returns 1 for this object and so it gets written as a
string. Can you suggest how we should alter the octave/matlab code
below? Or perhaps people don't use tabular data structures containing
strings in these languages?
if ischar(ans), fid = fopen('%s', 'w'); fprintf(fid, '%%s\\n', ans);
fclose(fid);
else, dlmwrite('%s', ans, '\\t')
end"
