output question

[AlexRSS]

An unbelievably ignorant question, but when I run Octave from the terminal in OSX and call a function that outputs data using printf, the values are only printed to the terminal after the function has finished running.  How can I get Octave to print values to the terminal as a function is running (i.e., print the value to the terminal as the statement is evaluated while the function runs rather than printing all the values at the end of the function?

Try "more off" or add "fflush(stdout)" after the printf calls

Thank you very much Alex, for the reply. I also have the same issue with nested loops and wanted to check the status of the simulation.
