[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41505] Cannot save to stdout

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #41505 (project octave):

That oddball case doesn't seem to be a regression, while "save -" was. Going
back to 3.4.3 and 3.6.4, "save - x" fails with the same error in both
versions.

I guess this error is because the minus is being interpreted as a binary
operator with "save ()" as the first argument? There's probably nothing we
could do about this without recognizing it as a special case in the parser
right?


octave:1> x = 5;
octave:2> save - x
error: Invalid call to save.  Correct usage is:
[...]
octave:2> save = 10;
octave:3> save - x
ans =  5
