--- sorry for cross posting (it's my first one...) ---
Hello everybody,
I'm quite new to Octave and the list and I have a problem calling
octave
from a shell script. I have a octave script which is running
properly when
run from octave's prompt. I also can call an octave "Hello world"
script
from a shell script. However I cannot call a octave script and
giving it an
inputfile from the shell. I tried several quotings like this one:
in a shell:
% octave -qf octavescript.m('inputfile.dat')
in the example inputfile.dat is a textfile with the data I want to
process.
I also tried with double quotes " and without quotes...
the error is:
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
I'm doing this on ubuntu 7.10 with octave 2.9.12
Any useful hints are very much appreciated!!
Michael
