[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46795] dbstop lacks much Matlab functionality

[Lachlan Andrew]

Follow-up Comment #33, bug #46795 (project octave):

Thanks again for your testing Philip.

I've updated the GUI patch to suppress the message on the console.

I got a bit confused when you spoke of double vs single quoting.  I assume you
mean two vs one levels of quoting, rather than " vs '.  In that case, I'm not
sure why the first example you gave didn't cause it to break.  I always get
the second "verbatim" block.  I wish I could look over your shoulder as you do
this :)

Unless I change the parser, there is nothing I can do to detect the quotes in
"f".  They're removed before dbstop is called.  However, I have updated the
documentation with an example (your favourite  dbstop in strread at 209 if
'any (format == "%f")') and put quotes in the example usage line.  It now also
applies cleanly to the tip of the default branch.

In regard to your question '/typing "dbstop ...", not necessarily in the
octave-cli executable/
Where else should I enter this dbstop .... command?'  the place other than the
 octave-cli  executable is the command window of the  octave-gui  executable.
