[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #58127] save -V7 and -append error

[Liang Tang]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #58127 (project octave):

Hi Mike, 

I have provided two examples in my submission to demonstrate an error which
only occurs in Octave and incompatibility of the two software in handling the
file version when used together with -append.   I am using both codes in their
default setting as much as I can.  The matlab default save version is v7.3.  

I am not using v6.  When v6 is used, the matlab behavior is different.  There
is no warning message.  

>> a=1;b=1;
>> save -V6 ab.mat a
>> save -v6 -append ab.mat b

Both v7 & 7.3 behave the same. 

>> a=1;b=1;
>> save -V6 ab.mat a
>> save -v6 -append ab.mat b
>> save -V7 ab.mat a
>> save -v7 -append ab.mat b
Warning: Ignoring the version specified. The version flag is not required when
using the '-append' flag. 
>> save -V7.3 ab.mat a
>> save -v7.3 -append ab.mat b
Warning: Ignoring the version specified. The version flag is not required when
using the '-append' flag. 


The work around I have is to suppress the warning message.  I don't need any
help on this end.
