Dear Eric:

I and others have seen and sometimes answered quite a few of
your questions on this list, but sooner or later someone will
have to say it.  And I'm saying it now:

   RTFM   (Read The Friendly Manual)

Get hold of a Matlab primer on the Internet. 
Several are available by following links from
   http://www.mathworks.com 
Or buy yourself one of the many books for teaching yourself
Matlab.   Most of what they say is applicable to Octave too.
It will be faster than asking questions on octave-help.

In the present case,

b=0.4*sinc*(2*exp(-i*pi)+exp(-i*3*pi))(0.4*(-25:25));

you have made two mistakes:

(a)  sinc is a function which requires one argument.
     You can therefore write "sinc(0.4*(-25:25))"
     or "x=(0.4*(-25:25)); sinc(x)"
     but not just sinc.

(b)  ")(" is never legal syntax.  There must always
     be an operator.

The way to code what I think you mean, is:
   x=(0.4*(-25:25));
   b=0.4*sinc(x).*(2*exp(-i*pi*x)+exp(-i*3*pi*x))

Note ".*" for multiplying vectors term by term.
