Hello

I am trying to run an external file in Octave and am getting errors.Below are the following steps I am taking.

(1)Create a file and place it at C:\temp\Example1.
(2)Run the command source("c:\\temp\\TestProg1.m")
(3)Get the error message "error : no such file 'c:\temp\TestProg1.m'" and "error: sourcing file'c:\temp\TestProg1.m' "

In addition to Doug's suggestion, you can also use "cd" (change directory) to move directories so you don't have to store all your files in the octave binaries directory.

Anyway, your file is in C:\temp\Example1
You should be calling source("C:\\temp\\Example1\\TestProg1.m")

Kind regards,
Joanna
