Applications :: Octave Good Substitute For Matlab?
Jan 12, 2010Has anybody used both of these programs? How do they compare? Is Octave a good substitute for Matlab? How similar are the programing languages?

View 4 RepliesAny one use octave while taking a matlab class? I am currently in MATLAB but cant offord the software and there are no trials of it. The studernt edition is still expensive and i need to save money. I have been going in during math class to do matlab homework but i cant keep skipping math since i am a mechanical engineer.

Is there a good instant messaging client that covers most of these on one application? I am using Mandriva with KDE 4.2.
I have been scouring the internet looking for a good solution to reading .pdb eBooks on Linux.It seems that there isn't one.Could you perhaps recommend a good app to either convert the file easily into something readable or (more preferably) an app that can read them?

View 3 Replies View RelatedTo anyone who got octave: The issue: whenever I call the function "dmperm", it gives me the following
Code:
error: dmperm: not available in this version of Octave
Typing dmperm(3) gives that. However, dmperm alone gives some instructions on how to use this. So it is seemingly there.
Getting the same thing? What I got is octave 3.4.0, on openSUSE 11.4 x86-64. I tried with the one in repos contrib, the one in packman, and the one in contrib:Factory. Same outcome. It could be that there is some missing dependencies that were not specified by the packager, perhaps. This older post Octave - General - dmperm mentioned some packages. Things I did not have I got installed: libumfpack5 umfpack-devel bison flex I could not install "umfpack" as such. It is a source package. It still does not work..........
I'm trying to download ocatve, and on the gnu.org website there are two file packages available. There is a "tar.gz" and a "tar.bz2". Are these two packages different versions of the same thing? Or are both of these packages necessary? And...if there is a difference, which package would be more suitable for Hardy 8.04?

I installed octave in my OpenSUSE 11.2 KDE system from Yast. When I launch it with the command "octave" on my shell, this is the message I receive: "octave: error while loading shared libraries: liboctave.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". What's the problem? Is it a known problem to be solved in the 11.2 RC2 or I have to do something else?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have recently installed Octave on my desktop and I am very busy with RTFM ATM.However, this manual is huge and I could not find an answer to my problem. What I basically want to do is initialize a vector like
Code:
a=[]
for i 1:100
a = [ a i ]
endfor
Now my problem is that this will call the pager and I have to hit 'q' to get my prompt back. I know I can turn it off but the screen will still get cluttered with tons of output.Is there a way to initialize 'a' quietly without any screen output?
I have a .txt file with the format

I am wanting to load this into octave and perform operations on the data.

I am setting up an ubuntu server, and i was wondering if there was a program that i could apt-get that would manage my Domain names and create directories and FTP and all that good stuff like IIS does in windows. While i am fully capable of editing the files and working the server through the terminal, noone else in my office is and if we are to switch to a linux server they will need to be able to work it.

Is there a substitute for Intrepid repos? I'm not able to access a few servers and don't want to upgrade the OS on this box.

Since the new Unity in Ubuntu 11.04 doesn't work with applets, like GNOME, I've lost an useful applet to choose the operating clock of my CPU as well as power profiles (Performance, Conservative, On Demand etc.).

What is the substitute for RHEL repository? I know that we can use cent-OS/ fedora repository, but can someone please tell me what exactly is required in the yum.repo file. My computer details are as mentioned.

I have tried making this substitution using both of
Code:
Sed operates with no comment but does nothing. awk objects to the variables content because they include the occasional non-breaking-space. The presence of these is essential so that bash will properly distribute the content of each line to an array.
The content of "orc" and "orch" is as follows (the non-breaking-spaces show as *).
Code:
I tried to use the command:
sed -i ''$line_number',/port/s/port/portMARKED/' file
to substitute the word "port" by the word "portMARKED" at the specific line that is saved in "line_number". The substitution happens, but it is copying my line twice... and I have no idea why... I need to make a single substitution of one word for another at a certain line in my text file. Would somebody know how I could do that?
Assume that i a having the following three lines in an executable file
#/bin/bash
a=Tue
Tue=1
When i give echo $a the value should be 1, how to do this.
I have this PHP Program I have been hobbying for years. Started in old PHP3 early PHP4. So with the newer PHP, things are starting to break! I have this string:
session_is_registered('UserID')
And I need to convert to this:
isset($_SESSION['UserID'])
in more than 200 scripts in my directory. I have been toying with perl (in a copy of the dir of course in case I really screw things over, lol) but am not gettig too far. The new code needs to swap ( ) for [ ] and i'm just all hung up! I am getting lost in Perl, I have this, but it does not substitute so I am missing something:
perl -i.bak -pe "s/session_is_registered('UserID')/isset(\$_SESSION['UserID'])/g" *.php
what is the substitute of windows movie maker in linux?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have gone through many threads but most of them have been dead for many time and I think there would have been a few advances in the Ubuntu software domain, so maybe a new downloader is up which manages downloads in a better way.Well, those who have used Internet Download Manager know that it is one of the best ones offered for Windows. It has many useful functions available in one single domain.
- It integrates to all browsers damn well, like charm.
- It can manage rapidshare, megaupload, hotfile and similar file hosting services very smoothly.
- It is a multi-threaded downloader which means that before starting to download file it breaks it up in many small pieces, and then downloads all fragments side by side, making the download very very fast, even on slower connections.
- It can also do very well with the websites which do not permit multithreaded downloading from their servers.
- It can take on video downloads from any page on the web which has a streaming video.
- It is very stable (if bought legitimately, which is not true in most cases ). But quite stable in even when not registered or cracked.
- Above all, it has a smart gui interface which provides interactive operations on downloaded files.
I have used many downloaders for Ubuntu and there has been some problem with each one. Some have a nice CLI structure but not GUI. Some of them are not multi-threaded. Some are multithreaded but do not allow pausing and continuing downloads (which actually does not satisfy the very definition of download managers). I haven't seen a single download manager which is GUI, multithreaded and well integrated to browsers all at the same time.What I want to know is, do my friends here at Ubuntu galaxy want to point out a real shiny star here which would make me forget the damn propriety software? Or if such a downloader hasn't been built yet, why not let's build one... Shouldn't be too hard especially if we have a model example (IDM 5.18 for Windows) in front of us... Well the algorithm must be simple, get address, verify the existence of file, break apart into several pieces and start downloading. I don't know how to implement this algorithm yet, but I am a quick learner and if a few expert programmers join me, we can do something that would remove one complain for most Ubuntu users.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a list of 2 character country abbreviations used in the Maxmind GeoCountry database that I need to convert to the standard 3 character country abbreviation ISO 3166-11 format. I could have a long list of sed substitute statements for each country.
Code:
sed "s/US/USA/g" <file>
Is their a more elegant way to do this? Maybe an array of some sort? This substitution will be used in a bash script.
i have a PHP program, it encompasses about 200 scripts. Years ago, it was rewritten by another programmer to be multi-lingual, but the multi-lingual attraction of it never took off. Now that I am the only maintainer, trying to reuse what I have for code is quite difficult. If I look at one script, I see items like
_HEADER_TEXT_ERROR_4
_TABLE_ROW_SIZED_FORMAT
_ERROR_SELECT_RADIO_MAIN
All of these (and many more) are found in a "main.php" file that sort of go like this:
DEFINE _HEADER_TEXT_ERROR_4 "You Entered a Bad Value";
DEFINE _TABLE_ROW_SIZED_FORMAT "Last Name";
DEFINE _ERROR_SELECT_RADIO_MAIN "Make Your Selections";
What I would like to do is have something that says FOR all files in this directory, when you find something that starts with _, find that value in main.php and substitue what is inside the quotes for that value. Sort of unwriting all this multi-lingual stuff. I can format how I would do it if it was all stored in MySQL, but doing it from bash has me perplexed.
