Hi,

I have a lot of binary files that I have created using C++. I have written a 
function "my_load.m"
that reads this binary file format into Matlab. Now I want to convert 
"my_load.m" so that it works
also in Octave. Therefore I need something similar to the Matlab assignin 
function:

>help assignin
>
> ASSIGNIN Assign variable in workspace.
>    ASSIGNIN(WS,'name',V) assigns the variable 'name' in the
>    workspace WS the value V.  WS can be one of 'caller' or 'base'.

Is there any Octave equivalent to this function, or any work-around, that I can 
use to get my
variables from the file into Octave?

Grateful for any help on this topic.
