running script files

[Christoph Dalitz]

Hello,

while generally using the trick of a dummy "1;" statement in the first
lines of my octave scripts (as recommended in the documentation), I
wonder whether there is some Octave statement that explicitly runs
an octave script from the octave prompt. Something like

        octave> run myscript.m
or
        octave> run("myscript.m")

This would allow to run scripts with special characters in the filename
(like "example-1.2.m") and would make the use of scripts independant from
octave's belief whether it is a script or a function file.

Thanks,

Christoph
