octave: Simple Output

 
 14.2.2 Simple Output
 --------------------
 
 Once a file has been opened for writing a string can be written to the
 file using the ‘fputs’ function.  The following example shows how to
 write the string ‘Free Software is needed for Free Science’ to the file
 ‘free.txt’.
 
      filename = "free.txt";
      fid = fopen (filename, "w");
      fputs (fid, "Free Software is needed for Free Science");
      fclose (fid);
 
  -- : fputs (FID, STRING)
  -- : STATUS = fputs (FID, STRING)
      Write the string STRING to the file with file descriptor FID.
 
      The string is written to the file with no additional formatting.
      Use ‘fdisp’ instead to automatically append a newline character
      appropriate for the local machine.
 
      Return a non-negative number on success or EOF on error.

    A function much similar to ‘fputs’ is available for writing data to
 the screen.  The ‘puts’ function works just like ‘fputs’ except it
 doesn’t take a file pointer as its input.
 
  -- : puts (STRING)
  -- : STATUS = puts (STRING)
      Write a string to the standard output with no formatting.
 
      The string is written verbatim to the standard output.  Use ‘disp’
      to automatically append a newline character appropriate for the
      local machine.
 
      Return a non-negative number on success and EOF on error.
