Re: newbieQuestion: how do I open .m files with octave on a windows machine?

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

Execute octave by clicking icon, you can see the octave screen,

Octave was configured for "i686-pc-mingw32".

Additional information about Octave is available at http://www.octave.org.

octave-3.2.4.exe:1>

*******************

octave-3.2.4.exe:1>
is the prompt. After that I will write it as '>>'.

Go to the folder where you save your script file, here we assume that the 
folder path is
'c:\usr\tatsu\test\testOctave' and a name of script name is test.m 

Contents of test.m

% plottest.m
x=linspace(0,2*pi,100);
plot (x,sin(x));
drawnow;


Type at the octave prompt 

>> cd c:\usr\tatsu\test\testOctave
>> plottest

Note that current octave does not have any GUI frontend, if you would like to 
use GUI frontend.
You can use QtOctave or Xoctave.  

Please care that the above two project are independent of octave project.
Please do not make inquiry for those here.

Regards

Tatsuro
