It's possible, but I'm running the script that I saved from the
attachment, so presumably, that would have included such characters?
Must be. Sorry - I didn't notice the attachment.
If the problem is a CRLF pair, then I think that is a bug. Octave
should accept CRLF or LF as an end of line character. So if you have a
problem like this, please report it.
The problem that sometimes occurs (not necessarily with Octave) is that
there are CRLF pairs in the file, but then the file is edited and the CR
moves away from the LF.
