Details:
Say that you have two files named foo-one.mat and foo-two.mat. On typing "load
foo" at the Octave command prompt and pressing tab, Octave shows the available
files beginning with "foo" including foo-one.mat and foo-two.mat but on then
typing "load foo-o" and pressing tab, expecting it to complete foo-one.mat, it
gets confused and gives unrelated results. Apparently the first tab lists the
hyphenated names but the second tab interprets it as a minus sign not as part
of a file name.
Is there a workaround for this behavior, other than to avoid the use of
hyphens in file names?
