    _______________________________________________________

Details:

There is a difference in behaviour between Octave and MATLAB when calling
str2num with a string that starts with a comma:


matlab>> str2num(',1,1')
ans =
     1     1



octave> str2num(',1,1')
ans = [](0x0)


This is actually due to difference in the interpreter

matlab>> [,1,1]
ans =
     1     1



octave> [,1,1]
parse error:
  syntax error
>>> [,1,1]
      ^
