Follow-up Comment #1, bug #68530 (group octave):=0A=0AThanks for the bug re=
port.=0A=0AYou mean that Matlab silently accepts "error ([])" to be no erro=
r and Octave=0Adoes the same but along the way first hickups when convertin=
g the empty=0Anumeric matrix to a string, while it should rather have detec=
ted beforehand=0Athat it was an empty value anyway and act more directly.=
=0A=0AYes, looks like a, well, cosmetic incompatibility.  The warning is ou=
t of=0Aplace and unneeded.=0A=0A=0A    ____________________________________=
