Re: How to pass variables from octave script to Ubuntu shell

[Sebastian Döring]

Hi ismael,

Of course I have though of this solution, but I also though that there might be a way that is more straight forward. Writing to and reading from a file seems a bit like working around the real problem to me.

Anyways, thanks for your answer ;).

Moin Sebastian, why don't you simply write the variable to disk from Octave (ascii) and then read it under Python? It seems to me the easiest way... Gruss, Ismael.

Hello list,

I am using a bash script to execute several other scripts including an
octave script.
The bash script simply calls the octave script with the following
command: "octave --silent --eval "myfile(\"$variable\")".

My problem is now, that I want the octave script to return a certain
variable it has calculated during its execution, back to the shell, so
that I can use it further and pass it again to another script (e.g. python).

I have searched google a lot about this and have also found a topic from
this very mailing list (about "setenv"/"getenv"), but I don really seem
to get it right.

I would really appreciate if someone gave me a hint on how to use these
commands, or maybe how to solve my problem in another way.


Thanks in advance.

-Sebastian
