matlab vs octave

[Bouazati el M]

Hello

Who can help me to solve the following probleem:

I'm trying to read scripts, which are written in Matlab 5, in octave.

If I try to read the function newff, wich is written in Matlab 5 code to
build a neural network, I get the following error: 

error: invalid character '{'near line 12
parse error near line 12 of file /home/mustapha/neuralnet.m

>>> net=newff([0 10],[5 1], {'tansig' 'purelin'});

I have changed some routines in the file '~/.octaverc', wich should be
sufficient to make octave handling matlab 5 scripts well. But this didn't
help at all!!

Please, send me an email back if somebody can help me.

Thanks,
Mustapha       (student at the free university of Amsterdam)
