[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #35911] Backslash escaping in regexprep replacement string incompatibility

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #35911 (project octave):

I think what you want to do is something like this:


  std::string replacement = args(2).string_value ();
  if (error_state)
    return retval;
  if (args(2).is_sq_string ())
    replacement = do_string_escapes (replacement);


See the attached diff.  Does this change do the right thing?  If so, feel free
to add a test that checks that backslash escaping is handled specially for
single-quoted strings and check it in.
