[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #42291] tab completion gives incorrect filenames when filename contains operators

[Frederick Robinson]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #42291 (project octave):

I think that readline has this capability. I know that bash (which I believe
uses readline) will expand ~ in a filename if you have the appropriate setting
set. 

Whether or not it would be too hard / not worth it to implement this though I
don't know. I've been reading the readline docs / Octave source a bit and
frankly I'm a bit lost. 

It might be that all that is necessary is just to modify

octave_rl_filename_completion_function in /octave/liboctave/util/oct-rl-edit.c


but it's also quite likely that I'm being overly optimistic and not realy
understanding how things work.
