Dear listmembers,
I am currently trying to go through the documentation - it's something like 
1000 pages, so this takes time :-). I am using octave 5.2.0. When I say

A=5;
A
A =  5
isvarname (A)
ans  =  0

shouldn't this be "1" rather than "0"? The manual states "Return true if name is a valid 
variable name". In my example I consider "A" a valid variable name, isn't it? So, could you shed some 
light on what I am doing wrong here?
you need to say:

    isvarname('a')

Cheers... Ian


Most likely  isvarname('A') - IIRC Octave is case-sensitive.
