hello,
type "help path" at the octave prompt for more info. Briefly,
you can save the current path to a string, as in
octave:1> initial_path = path ()
initial_path = :/home/miquel/Octave//:
where the trailing double forward slash indicates Octave to look
under all subdirectories under the path
To append a directory to the path,
octave:2> path(LOADPATH,"/home/miquel/temp//")
ans = :/home/miquel/Octave//::/home/miquel/temp:/home/miquel/temp//
where LOADPATH contains the current path. To set a new path and discard
the current one simply drop LOADPATH
octave:3> path("/home/miquel/temp//")
ans = /home/miquel/temp:/home/miquel/temp//
since I save the initial path, I can recover it by simply typing,
octave:4> path(initial_path)
ans = :/home/miquel/Octave//:
