So, is that what you expected?  It seems like the file has some data
in it.

| right, i tried to access it by a text editor, since i saw:
| octave2.1:21> octave_core_file_format
| octave_core_file_format = ascii
| 
| shouldn't it be readable via common text editors?

Yes.  Please tell us exactly what the problem is when you try to do
this.  What editor are you using?  What kind of system do you have?
How do you expect anyone to be able to help you if all you say is
"it doesn't work".
