    _______________________________________________________

Details:

MatLabs version of strfind is able to compare strings when they are in "ascii
form" (class double) octave only returns an error.

example 

st = [45 23 45 23 46 39 19 10 65 97]
posA = strfind(st,'A')


Matlab answer

posA =
     9

octave 

error: strfind: first argument must be a string or cell array of strings
