Hi A trivial question, but i don't find the answer in the doc. i would like to assign value of a vector individually to some variables. octave> v = [ 1.4 , 2.7, 3.1 ] This fails : octave> [ a, b, c ] = v; everything goes in 'a', and b is undefined. Is it necessary to write a = v(1); b = v(2) ... or did i missed something ? Alain
