Parse Error

[Corey L Hubbard]

I am attempting to load data file into the variables X and y:

data = "">'ex1data1.txt');       % read comma separated data
X = data(:, 1); y = data(:, 2);
m = length(y);   

and I am getting an parse error like so; 

octave-3.4.0:1> /Applications/mlclass-ex1/mlclass-ex1/ex1.m 

parse error:

  syntax error

>>> /Applications/mlclass-ex1/mlclass-ex1/ex1.m 

Please advise…

Compliments,
