I am trying to run some code I wrote in Matlab under Octave. This code runs ok in Matlab:

---------------------
myString=['\n'...
'\\section{short summary table}\n'];

But Octave gives syntax error

-----------------------

octave

GNU Octave, version 3.8.1

octave:1> t.m
parse error near line 2 of file /home/me/data/t.m

  syntax error

'\\section{short summary table}\n'];

     ^
--------------------

>> myString=['\n' ...
'\\section{short summary table}\n'];

simply add a whitespace between end of string and the three dots

 

and
-------------------------

cat t.m

myString=['\n'...
'\\section{short summary table}\n'];
---------------------

Does not octave support long string continuation using ... as
with Matlab? and if so, what would the syntax be?

thanks,
