Yep that's my native tongue. I'll proceed in English and I added octdev mailing list so others can follow. > I am using oct2xls for a while with only three arguments.

Change line 142 of oct2xls.m from (watch out for line wrap in this mail): if (isempty (crange) || ~ischar (crange)), error ("Character string (range) expected for arg # 4"); endif into: if (~isempty (crange) && ~ischar (crange)), error ("Character string (range) expected for arg # 4"); endif (i.e., add a "~" before isempty and change || into &&). While you're at it, in oct2ods.m change line 144 from: if (~(isempty (crange) || ischar (crange))), error ("Character string (range) expected for arg # 4"); endif into if (~isempty (crange) && ~ischar (crange)), error ("Character string (range) expected for arg # 4"); endif (i.e., drop a pair of parentheses and change || into &&) I'll update the fixed versions of these functions in svn.
