Revision as of 21:48, 13 October 2012
Is there any information about the "text" file format used by octave?
i am especially interested whether I can add a comment to a file saved in that format, to document the meaning of the data saved in different variables. Is there anything I should know lest to "destroy" the content (make the file unreadable for the load function)?
is there already any documentation about this format - and where do I find it?
