hi
Octave is so smart that you don't have to write "..." to indicate that
the command continues in the next line. For instance,
octave:1> myfilter = [
> 100, 200, 300
> ]
myfilter =
100 200 300
The only? exception is when pressing the return key immediately after
the "=" sign in an assignment, then, either you type the 3-dots or you
get a syntax error, i.e.
octave:2> myfilter = ...
> [
> 100, 200, 300
> ]
myfilter =
100 200 300
octave:3> myfilter =
parse error:
syntax error
>>> myfilter =
^
I assume there must be a good reason to keep this exception.

PS I'm not going to mention that is an octave list and that your post is
clearly off-topic, but I guess someone will say so.
