That's a great help Michael. I've used this to set up my own octaverc which
calls the following /octave_files/startup.m:
======================>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
pluspath="/cygdrive/C/Documents and Settings/Ian/My
Documents/Octave/scripts/";
cd (pluspath);
LOADPATH = [':' pluspath '/', ':/octave_files//'];
# Set edit to accept filename argument and set the header for new scripts
edit('editor', '"scite.exe" "`cygpath -wa %s`"');
edit('home',pluspath);
edit('email', '*************');
edit('author', 'Grumps');
edit('license','pd');
# Make Octave beep on errors:
beep_on_error = 1;
# Go into debug mode when an error occurs:
debug_on_error = 1;
# Enable leaving debug mode by
# pressing Ctrl-C:
debug_on_interrupt = 0;
# Stop Octave printing the line
# number at the prompt:
PS1 = "\\s> ";
more off;
echo on;
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<============================
You will see from the above that:
a. I added "/octave files//" to the path so that I can also run scripts
in there.
b. I did not need to specify the path of scite.exe as its within my
general path.
c. I also reset the 'home' edit variable. This then puts new scripts
into the same directory.
Also much thanks for the excellent tip on using ctl-Insert and shift-Insert
for copy and paste.
I still have one problem though. I seem to have to close SciTE in order to
run the script I have just changed. Is there any way of keeping it open?
