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

[Sebastian Döring]

Thanks guys.

Got it working with Carlos' approach.

Since what I am doing with the octave script is not a time-critical thing, writing/reading to/from a file also works, but as I said before, I was simply searching for a nicer way to do this and could not believe that it´s impossible.

So thanks again and have a nice day.

Certainly, but is there a reason you cannot drive the other scripts from
Octave through the SYSTEM function, particularly if you want to capture
the output for further processing?
