Hi,

I haven't used octave myself so I can't be certain, but using the
=:results output= header should result in the behavior you are
describing.  e.g.

  #+srcname: test.m
  #+begin_src octave :results output
  clear variables
  x=5.1;
  y=3*x;
  sprintf('x=%.1f',x)
  sprintf('y=%.1f',y)
  #+end_src

see http://orgmode.org/manual/results.html

Cheers -- Eric
