Cells?

[Michael W. Martin]

Greetings,


Our in-house simulation written in C reads certain data files that have 
entries such as this:

        Some_variable = { 1.2, 2.3, 3.4 };

This, of course, is the same format as matlab's cells and it is fairly 
easy to get matlab to read these files.  Octave seems to be another matter.
 My present version of octave is 2.1.35. It ACCEPTS this data form well 
enough, and it will even correctly print the data form. However, it will 
not allow any extraction of the data into anything useful, at least not 
one that I could find. Not matter how I assign the elements of the cell, 
it produces a cell which cannot be manipulated computationally. I get the 
impression that creation of cells is supported, but not their manipulation.
 Suggestions? Hints?
