Dear all,

I am wondering if there is something comparable to lists implemented in
octave. I need a structure that implements an object such as
{ {1,2}, {3,4}, {5}, {} } and can do some basic operations on it -
for example returning the length of the list (in this case 4) and
insert some elements (similar to what Append does in Mathematica(TM) ).

I have looked at the "structure" data type, but it would be a fuss
dealing with that.

Does anybody have a good suggestion?

This isn't a list. Its a cell array and works perfect in a compatiable fashion to matlab in current versions of octave.

octave:1> a = { {1,2}, {3,4}, {5}, {} };
octave:2> length(a)
ans = 4
octave:3> size(a)
ans =

 1  4
octave:4> a{5} = "new element";
octave:5> length(a)
ans = 5

Regards
David
