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

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #23, bug #47950 (project octave):

@Philip: Unfortunately it's not quite that simple.  The replace_if algorithm
searchs for an element and replaces it with another element in a container. 
For strings, the base element is a single character so you cannot replace it
with two characters.

It still shouldn't be that hard, but given that there are two modifications,
changing '\' to '/' and '[' to "\[", it may be better to use a single iterator
loop over the string and copy the string into a new variable built up
character by character.
