Depending on where you initialize which software for what reason, from your error message I conclude the following:

- You are using Windows "C:/Users..."

- You already started some version of Octave or are about to start it ">>"

From this I can only give you two general advises for Windows [1]:

1. Avoid spaces in paths.

2. Avoid non-ASCII characters in paths.

Both rules are violated with your path, better would be "C:/Users/Antonio_Valente". Otherwise you have to make sure to properly put marks, e.g. " or ', around every path you are calling.

HTH,

Kai

Please keep this mailing list in the CC, so others may benefit from your question and on this mailing list we use "bottom-posting" style [2] for each conversation.

Seeing the two greater-than symbols ">>" I felt reminded of the Octave command line in my guessing of what your problem is.

The point is, if you want to get help, you need to help us to understand or to reproduce your problem.  In your case I would need to know your operating system, if my guess is wrong, and your version of Octave, in case you are facing a bug already fixed in a new version of Octave (the current stable version is 4.4.1).

The next information I need is exactly when your error messages occurs?  At Octave startup, when executing some of your functions or scripts?  I do not know all this at the moment, what is perfectly clear to you, maybe this is why you omit this important information ;-)

HTH,

Kai
