Re: How do I paste code at the Octave prompt?

The problem is that your code includes a tab. The tab starts tab completion. Try changing your editor's preferences so that it inserts 8 spaces instead of a tab.

I often evaluate snippets of code by pasting the snippet into the
command window.

Pasting this works:

for i = 1:10
   disp(i)
end

But pasting this doesn't work:

for i = 1:10
   if i > 4
       disp(i)
   end
end

I get

for i = 1:10
if i > 4

Display all 2165 possibilities? (y or n)
