Redirecting "print" output?

[Daniel J S. <dan...@ie...>]

Is it possible, or does it seem like a good feature, to have the output of a "print" command redirected?  Octave has interest in getting back the range values from gnuplot's autoranging result after a plot.  Of course, that info is now in the many GPVAL_ variables, and what is nice is that "print GPVAL_X_MAX" prints out a single value that requires little processing than a simple formatted variable read (no weeding out other stuff).  Perhaps everything there is needed already (I'm not as proficient in redirection as others on the list).  Otherwise, would the ability to redirect "print" to a file (Windows?... any word on Vista?) or pipe be of any benefit?
