how to parse function parameter in octave?

[frank wang]

Hi,

 

I am trying to run the octave function in bash command. I can do such command in bash shell

 

bash-3.00$ octave < test.m

 

However, I need to pass a parameter in the function such as

 

bash-3.00$ octave < test_need_parameter('filename')

 

This will not work.

 

How can I pass the parameter to the function in such situation.

 

Thanks

 

Frank
