[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #39775] Consistent treatment of octal and hexadecimal escape sequences in double-quoted strings

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #39775 (project octave):

I forgot to give an example, here is the current behavior of Octave. The
expected behavior is that all 3 assignments result in the same string.


octave:89> s = "Octave"
s = Octave
octave:90> s = "\117\143\164\141\166\145"
s = Octave
octave:91> s = "\x4f\x63\x74\x61\x76\x65"
s = x4fx63x74x61x76x65
