[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #34731] Octave cannot run m-files from a removable drive with a subst disk

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #34731 (project octave):

I think you have discovered something.  I tried something similar using the
root directory on a Unix box, but everything worked.  On UNIX the file
separator is '/'.  I think the file separator being '' on Windows, and the
fact that this is often a reserved escape character, is probably causing
problems.

What does "isdir ('F:')" return?  The single quotes are necessary to prevent
the '' character as being treated as special.

I don't think this problem would be very hard to resolve if you were to just
step through the code being executed.  Do you have access to a version
compiled with support for gdb?  If you can compile from source I can help set
up the flags for debug compilation correctly and in running gdb.
