[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49718] Octave crashes on print/saveas etc when installed on a directory with parenthesis

[John Donoghue]

Follow-up Comment #39, bug #49718 (project octave):

for test 4, 5, re comment #37, the call to epstool:

[status, devlist] = system (sprintf ('"%s" -h', opts.ghostscript.binary));



debug> opts.ghostscript.binary
ans = C:\Octave\OCTAVE~1.3)\mingw64\bin\gs.exe
debug> sprintf ('"%s" -h', opts.ghostscript.binary)
ans = "C:\Octave\OCTAVE~1.3)\mingw64\bin\gs.exe" -h
debug> [status, devlist] = system (sprintf ('"%s" -h',
opts.ghostscript.binary));
'""C:\Octave\OCTAVE~1.3)\mingw64\bin\gs.exe" -h"' is not recognized as an
internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
debug> status
status =  1
debug> devlist
devlist =
debug> system (sprintf ('"%s" -h', opts.ghostscript.binary));

Usage: gs [switches] [file1.ps file2.ps ...]
Most frequently used switches: (you can use # in place of =)
 -dNOPAUSE           no pause after page   | -q       `quiet', fewer messages
 -g<width>x<height>  page size in pixels   | -r<res>  pixels/inch resolution
 -sDEVICE=<devname>  select device         | -dBATCH  exit after last file
 -sOutputFile=<file> select output file: - for stdout, |command for pipe,
                                         embed %d or %ld for page #



So when calling with the out parameters, it fails, but not otherwise
