Re: "octave -q script.m > a_file" creates an extra character

[etienne]

  Hi All,

not reproducible for me (Octave 3.0.3, Linux 2.6.18 CentOS) :

address@hidden TyzxGLModif] cat > script.m
1;

printf("A line");
address@hidden TyzxGLModif] octave -q script.m > a_file
address@hidden TyzxGLModif] cat a_file
A address@hidden TyzxGLModif] od -bc a_file
0000000 101 040 154 151 156 145
          A       l   i   n   e
0000006
address@hidden TyzxGLModif] octave --version
GNU Octave, version 3.0.3
