Hi,

I have some very basic MatLab scripts I want to open. I don't have MatLab.

Will Octave for Windows (if a Windows version exists!) open MatLab scripts?

Ta! :)
 
I think it will open some, aren't Matlab 'scripts' typically given the .m file extension? I believe some previous classes I took had .m files that would work in both apps (i.e. if a .m file was in the current working directory, I could access its functions, etc., from within Octave).

That said I expect there'll be some differences or limitations, and I don't have the experience to say what exactly, as I've only used Octave myself.
 
Well, if you wanted to open them to edit them (not run them), Octave wouldn't be an option. You'd be expected to use something like notepad/notepad++ for that anyway. I presumed it meant running them.
