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

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #35911 (project octave):

For the original reporter, can you verify that the only string which undergoes
interpolation in Matlab is the replacement string?  Or do the original string
and the pattern string also need this same fix?

For the original string, try the following


regexprep ('n', '.', 'X')


This will return either 'X' or 'XX' depending on whether interpolation is
done.

For the pattern string, try


str = sprintf ('anb');
regexprep (str, 'n', 'X')


If interpolation is active this should come out 'aXb'.
