[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56068] The echo command goes in action only after the SECOND line

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #56068 (project octave):

The issue is bound up with the way the parser is processing the echo command. 
Any lines between the issuance of "echo on" and the first valid command are
not echo'ed appropriately.

I used a slightly different test file (tst_ps42.m which is attached)


echo on
# comment 1
a = 1
# comment 2
b = 2
c = 3


I then turned on echo before running the script.  


echo on
tst_ps42
+ echo on
a =  1
+ # comment 2
+ b = 2
b =  2
+ c = 3
c =  3
+ 


In this case, the line "# comment 1" and the line "a = 1" are not echo'ed. 
After that, things proceed as they should until the end where there is an
extra blank line that is echo'ed.
