Pretty Reports

[Ian Journeaux]

Thanks everyone for pointing me in the correct direction. I was able to create a pretty report using MikTex (windows) and text output from my octave script. Worked well.

 

This is slightly offtopic but has to do with \input{file} in LaTeX.

 

I have a stub that defined the document and the table and at the correct position in the file I have a \input{file} to read in the data generated by my .m script. That part works well.

 

What I would like to do now is have the caption for the table (using {longtable}) come in from a separate file as well. In the typical code segment (this is an example. I am not sitting where I can get access to my code)

 

\caption[Feasible triples for a highly variable Grid]{Feasible triples for

highly variable Grid, MLMMH.} \label{grid_mlmmh} \\

 

Is it possible to have the caption defined by a \input{file}  command? I have tried many permutation and can’t seem to get anything to work.
