URL: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?33611> Summary: Matlab-incompatible character string escape processing Project: GNU Octave Submitted by: jwe Submitted on: Tue 21 Jun 2011 03:10:03 PM GMT Category: Interpreter Severity: 3 - Normal Priority: 5 - Normal Item Group: Matlab Compatibility Status: None Assigned to: None Originator Name: Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: dev Operating System: Any _______________________________________________________ Details: Octave processes string escapes in the following context: octave:6> eval ('disp "foo\xar"') warning: unrecognized escape sequence `\x' -- converting to `x' fooxar This does not happen in Matlab (Matlab only processes string escapes in the format of a call to *printf). This problem has consequences for command evaluation on Windows systems where backslash is used as a directory separator. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?33611> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
