==I am running a script that should produce output during execution but I don't see anything until it has finished== | |||
By default Octave is set to pass its screen output through a pager (usually the default pager is "less") which allows | |||
things such as navigating through the output with arrow keys or searching for text or regular expressions within the output. | |||
The pager only displays the output after it's finished receiving it, so when it is active you'll not be able to see anything until your script has terminated. To change this behavior temporarily or permanently you may want to use one of the options described [http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Paging-Screen-Output.html here]. | |||
