Hi,
 I would like to output multiple variables from an octave program. When I
evaluate:

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

I get
      #+results: test.m
      : y=15.3

Is there a way to get multiple variables output, other than something like:
#+srcname: test.m
      #+begin_src octave
      clear variables
      x=5.1;
      y=3*x;
      sprintf('x=%.1f,\n y=%.1f',x,y)
      #+end_src

      #+results: test.m
      : x=5.1, y=15.3

which starts to get unwieldy for a larger number of variables.

I am using the org-mode from git in Emacs 23.1.

Thanks for any help.
RC

  Hi,
   I found the following workaround for what I was trying to do:
  
       #+srcname: test.m
       #+begin_src octave
       clear variables
       x=5.2;
       y=3*x;
       [sprintf('x=%.1f\n',x),...
       sprintf('y=%.1f',y)]
       #+end_src
        
       #+results: test.m
       | x=5.2  |
       | y=15.6 |

  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
