Re: octave & pipes

[Przemek Klosowski]

   r.m is set to be executable, but if I try to run "./r.m < test.txt"
   I get what look like shell errors:

      ./r.m < test.txt
      ./r.m: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `('
      ./r.m: line 2: `tt = load("-ascii", '-')'

There's some weirdness. On my Linux box and Octave 2.9.8, I have
three executable files: 

r.m:

#!/usr/bin/octave -qf   
tt = load("-ascii", '-')

s.m:

#!/usr/bin/octave -q -f 
tt = load("-ascii", '-')

t.m:

#!/usr/bin/octave -qf
sin(3)

Now, r.m and t.m both work, but s.m doesn't. It seems that -q -f acts 
differently 
than -qf:


address@hidden tmp]$ ./r.m < test.txt
tt = 
..........

address@hidden tmp]$ ./s.m < test.txt
/usr/bin/octave: invalid option --

address@hidden tmp]$ ./t.m
