Hi Doug,

I don't understand, what 'varargin' has to do with 'getopt'.

octave:1> help varargin

 -- Keyword: varargin
     Pass an arbitrary number of arguments into a function.

     See also: varargout, nargin, nargout

I need a function, which I can use to parse arg_list = argv() and which
can distinguish between allowed and not allowed options, and between
options with and without additional parameter.
I.e., I look for something like in Perl:

use Getopt::Std;
my $opts="dhS:o:N:n:";
my $options={};
getopts($opts,$options);
if (defined $options->{d}) {$DBG_LVL=$options->{d};}
if (defined $options->{h}) {usage();   exit 0;}
if (defined $options->{S}) {$Seed=$options->{S};}
..

Regards Juergen
