Using strings as arguements?

[Ross Vandegrift]

I'm working on a project that needs to generate a bunch of data plotse
The script iterates through different degrees, fitting different
polynomials to a common set of points.

I'd like to be able to do something like this:

gset terminal postscript
for d=2:50
        c = polyfit(xs,ys,d);
        yvals = polyval(c,xvals);
        figure (d)
        hold off
        title (sprintf('d = %d', d));
        filename = sprintf ("%d.ps");
        gset output filename
        plot(xvals,yvals,xs,ys,'*')
end

Unfortuantely, gset complains that it's expecting a filename, by which
it appears to mean a properly quoted string.  Is there a way I can get
octave to do this?

Thanks!
