io | 2.4.10 |
C:\Octave\Octave-4.2.1\share\octave\packages\io-2.4.10
I want to use xlsread and xlswrite from the io package, but they are not
recognized:
xlsread
warning: Functions for spreadsheet style I/O (.xls .xlsx .sxc .ods .dbf .wk1
etc.) are provided in the io package. See <http://octave.sf.net/io/>.
Please read <http://www.octave.org/missing.html> to learn how you can
contribute missing functionality.
error: 'xlsread' undefined near line 1 column 1
So, it looks like the io package is installed but not functioning. If i
try to load it, I get
>> load io-2.4.10.tar.gz
error: load: unable to find file io-2.4.10.tar.gz
>> load io-2.4.10
error: load: unable to find file io-2.4.10
