Re: octave 3.2.4 - sprintf error message

the error is that
VL_STIEL_LINIE(2)
doesn't return a string but a cell
octave-3.2.2:9> VL_STIEL_LINIE(2)
ans =

{
  [1,1] = b
}

you need to use curly brackets VL_STIEL_LINIE{2} to get the content ,
i.e. the string "b"

octave-3.2.2:10> VL_STIEL_LINIE{2}
ans = b

octave-3.2.2:11> VL_TEST=sprintf("String ->%s<-",VL_STIEL_LINIE{2})
VL_TEST = String ->b<-
