[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50034] "help ./" causes some extraneous printout of path info

[Rik]

Update of bug #50034 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #4:

Yep.  I see what you're seeing.  


Look at help.m at the end


    if (nargout == 0)
      evalin ("caller", ['which ("' undo_string_escapes(name) '")']);
      printf ("\n%s\n%s", text, __additional_help_message__ ());
    else
      retval = text;
    endif


It is the call to evalin which is adding the extra output.  I checked and the
value of 'text' is correct.  You can see this also by using a return argument
to help which then takes the else branch above.


s = help ("./")
