Re: loading dont work

[James Sherman Jr.]

I think you're confusing data files, scripts and functions.  Your BB.m
file is a function, so when you type BB in the octave prompt, it will
execute the function and return  (you don't have a return value, so it
won't actually return anything).  All the variables in the function
file are in the scope of function and "disappear" when the function
returns.

What I think you are shooting for is just a script that defines C and
D, which you can do by just deleting the line in BB.m that starts with
"function".  This will be just as if you typed those lines into the
octave prompt.

Furthermore, the function "load" is used when you are working with
data files that are either the result of the "save" function or
generated by an outside program that you wish to read into a variable
in octave.

So, long story short either:
a) make BB.m a script by deleting the "function BB" line
or
b) make BB.m a function that returns C and D by replacing the first
line of BB.m:
function [C,D] = BB()
and calling BB in BB2.m in this manner (instead of the "load" line):
[C,D] = BB;

Hope this helps.
