Re: read .m into parse tree (AST), write tree to file

[siko1056]

I don't really get, what information you want to extract from a M-file. Maybe
you provide a small example of what is relevant for you? A textual approach
was to read the M-file via fileread() or alike and do some meaningful
extracting/parsing.

AFAIK Octave does not expose any features of the parsing tree or a linter.
If you build Octave from the sources, and have some knowledge of GNU Bison
and flex, you can modify the sources to get access to the syntax-tree. A
starting point in the sources is
