Emacs change file extension - mode association

Question

My Emacs opens .m files in ObjC mode. However I want to open them in Octave mode. I have already added to the .emacs file:

(autoload \'octave-mo         


        

Answer 1

Use this.

;; octave-mode
(autoload 'octave-mode "octave-mode" "Loding octave-mode" t)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.m\\'" . octave-mode))
