[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47950] glob and dir functions are unable to escape square bracket characters in Windows

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #28, bug #47950 (project octave):

On Windows, with current dev sources, the cset has side effects:

>> pkg load io
warning: dir: 'stat (C:Usersphilipjava)' failed: No such file or directory
warning: dir: 'lstat (C:Usersphilipjavapoi-3.9-20121203.jar)' failed: No such
file or
directory
warning: dir: 'lstat (C:Usersphilipjavapoi-3.11-20141221.jar)' failed: No such
file or
 directory
:


(These are all calls to javaaddpath)
As you can see the file separators ("\") are gone.

Backing out the cset restores proper operation of javaaddpath.

Note: this is with hg id :67a5341edf15 ("mkstemp ....")

IIRC in earlier builds I also had this cset but I didn't note the issue
above.
