[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41202] Spurious output when path() called with 'echo on'

[Michael C. Grant]

Follow-up Comment #17, bug #41202 (project octave):

Yes, I would say that MATLAB's rule for "echo on" is this: echo the command
*if* there is nothing but scripts in the call stack. If there is even one
function, don't echo.

I've done a little reading and I now realize that my analysis of "echo on all"
is wrong.

Here's the deal:
- "echo on / echo off / echo" are for SCRIPTS only.
- "echo on all / echo off all" are for FUNCTIONS only. Scripts are NOT
affected by these commands. So for instance:


>> echo on all
>> x=1;
>> script1

x =

     3
 


- "echo <FNAME> on / echo <FNAME> off" are for the single function <FNAME>
only.


>> echo off all
>> echo func1 on
>> func1(1)
script2
x = x + 1;
script2
x = x + 1;
y = x;

ans =

     3

>> echo off all
>> func1(1)

ans =

     3

>> echo func2 on
Error using echo
MATLAB file not found: func2
