Re: Is there a way to run octave offline?

[Muthiah Annamalai]

you could do any one of these:
 
 1: output redirection
 
    $ octave my_cool_program.m > my_file_output.txt
 
 2: use the 'fopen' & friends from Octave in your program 
     my_cool_program.m and run it. Then just execution of this
     script itself will cause the program to create a new file.
 
    $ octave my_cool_program.m  

 3: use execve or friends and overlay your program with Octave
     process and pass your filename as arguments, and then save
     the result whatever you get on stdout into a file using fdup or something.
     Needs some excessive sys-programming ideas.
 
 4: Simply write your program to include octave libraries in C++,
     and compile it. Write your scripts using liboctave classess & functions!
 
 
 I think fastest solution is #1, or #2.

Hi,

 I am pretty new to octave. I was wondering, is there a way to run octave totally offline. I need to invoke it from within my program, and grab the results Octave will print to process in my program.

 

I see that running "octave filename", processes the commands in that file, but how can I get the output file? Does octave print to stdout?

 

Thank you very much for all the help.
