[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #42345] fprintf('''%''') throws error

[Muhali]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #42345 (project octave):

the issue came up with netcdf, where within the ncdisp function a statement
like


fprintf(msg)


is used to display certain attributes of a netcdf file. If those attributes
contain a "%" (and why should they not?), an error occurs.

As mentioned, ML returns a single quote, so it seems to discard everything
starting from the %. Just passing the literal string instead seems more
logical to me.
