Details:

octave tell me "error: Invalid call to save." etc when I run


a=1; b=1;
save('a[s]')


The expected result is saving all variables into the file named "a[s]"
Problem also exist in version 3.6.2 and 3.4.3

Seems that it's relate to the wildcard patterns [ _list_ ] match function in
save().

Luckily, this works:


a=1; b=1;
save('a[s]','*')
