Oh please. Try it on a matlab user, they might believe you. Replacing
that with

...
if( isnumeric( tbl( i ).val ) )
    val = tbl( i ).val
else
    val = str2num( tbl( i ).val )
endif
row( 5 ) = i.val;
...

makes it work just fine so it's rather clear which part is interpreted
as what type. Just like in my earlier question sscanf interpreted "HE"
as ascii codes for 'H' and 'E' (despite being given a "%s" *and* saying
it read them as one value).

I wish I could rewrite this piece of matlab expletive deleted in
numpy/python instead of trying to get it to run in octave...
