Running  m-file (with an error):


cat t1.m 
N = 100
for ii in 1:N
        disp ("Hello!")
endfor


results in wrong/confusing diagnostic message:



./run-octave -q -f
octave:1> t1
parse error near line 2 of file /home/dima/src/octave/gcc_def/t1.m

  syntax error

>>> N = 100
            ^

octave:1> 



Running the same commands interactively works as expected:



./run-octave -q -f
octave:1> N=100
N =  100
octave:2> for ii in 1:N
parse error:

  syntax error

>>> for ii in 1:N
            ^

octave:2>
