Dear Markus,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

My problem was cleared.

All the best.

The reason why Benson's code works but Fumio's doesn't, is that double quotes produce char arrays in Octave but they produce string objects in Matlab.
See also this item on the bug tracker:
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?50855

At the moment, a rule of thumb might be to not use double quotes if you want to write code that should run in Octave and in Matlab.
