It looks as though any attempt to create an "array of structs"
ignores the indexing:
octave:1> X(1).num = 1;
octave:2> X(1).text="number 1"
X.text = number 1
octave:3> X(2).num=2;
octave:4> X(2).text="number 2"
X.text = number 2
octave:5> whos
*** local user variables:
prot type rows cols name
==== ==== ==== ==== ====
rwd struct - - X
octave:6> X
X =
{
num = 2
text = number 2
}
Hence any subsequent attempt to refer to an indexed struct
will fail:
octave:7> X(2)
error: can't perform indexing operations for struct type
(and I guess Abe Taha's confusion arises from the fact that
there is no error message when the structure is created).
