Details:


In Matlab I get the following:


>> sprintf('%s', 'blah')

ans =

blah

>> sprintf('%s', ('blah')')

ans =

blah


In Octave I get:


octave:11> sprintf('%s', 'blah')
ans = blah
octave:12> sprintf('%s', ('blah')')
ans = b


So, as you can see, in Octave only the first character of the transposed
string is printed, but for matlab the untransposed and transposed case is the
same.
