Re: Problems loading a program in octave

[Hayden Rampadarath]

Hi,

 

I did what jon suggested and it worked.

Thanx

 

but... I got the following msgs.

error: plot: no data to plot             

 "(some how it cannot read the data)"

 

error: evaluating if command near line 56, column 2

error: evaluating if command near line 55, column 7
error: evaluating while command near line 44, column 5

error: evaluating if command near line 30, column 3

"(there is no if and while commands there)"

 

error: called from'_plt_' in file '/usr/share/octave/2.1.71/m/plot/_plt_.m'

error: called from'plot' in file '/usr/share/octave/2.1.71/m/plot/plot.m'

 

error: near line 135 of file '/cygdrive/c/plates/read_hayde.m'

line 135 has   'plot (date, mag_OJ - mag_f1, "04")'

 

Also if you have an input txt file like

 

1.23 233

1.34 949

1.45 345

      .

      .

      .

 

how can I read the data??

 

Thanks,

Hayden
