Follow-up Comment #3:

This is really odd behavior. Confirming.

On Linux, I get:


octave:1> pkg load io

octave:2> a = 10; xlswrite ("foo.xlsx", a)
ans = 1

octave:3> a = 10; xlswrite ("/tmp/foo.xlsx", a)
error: concatenation operator not implemented for 'matrix' by 'scalar struct'
operations
error: called from
    __OCT_oct2xlsx__
    __OCT_oct2spsh__ at line 79 column 16
    oct2xls
    xlswrite


The bizarre part is that I tried to cd to /tmp and then creating a foo.xlsx,
but it gave me an error, both when changing directories inside Octave and
outside it in the shell prompt!


octave:3> cd /tmp
octave:4> a = 10; xlswrite ("foo.xlsx", a)
error: concatenation operator not implemented for 'matrix' by 'scalar struct'
operations
error: called from
    __OCT_oct2xlsx__
    __OCT_oct2spsh__ at line 79 column 16
    oct2xls
    xlswrite



$ cd /tmp      ## in Bash

$ octave -q
octave:1> pkg load io
octave:2> a = 10; xlswrite ("foo.xlsx", a)
error: concatenation operator not implemented for 'matrix' by 'scalar struct'
operations
error: called from
    __OCT_oct2xlsx__
    __OCT_oct2spsh__ at line 90 column 9
    oct2xls
    xlswrite
