c = ['1 2 3 '; '4 5 6 ']

strrep(c, '2', '0')

The call to strrep fails in Matlab since c is not a char array and it succeeds 
in Octave (with an anti-intuitive result IMHO). My proposal is to do the same 
in Octave.

[m,n] = size(c);

If m != 1 and n!= 1 then throw an error. I hope that this now makes sense. :-)
