Re: varargin with executable octave scripts

[David Bateman]

Try it as with length(argv) or __nargin__. That is

#! /usr/bin/octave -qf
printf ("%s", program_name);
for i = 1:length(argv)
    printf (" %s", argv{i});
endfor
printf ("\n");
size(argv)

or

#! /usr/bin/octave -qf
printf ("%s", program_name);
for i = 1:__nargin__
    printf (" %s", argv{i});
endfor
printf ("\n");
size(argv)

Seems the docuemntation is wrong.

wrong..
