[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #62282] ls command in 7.1.0 may not function

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #30, bug #62282 (project octave):

I pushed a patch that changes the docstring of `ls` here:
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/7d99816e9709

That hopefully makes it a bit easier to understand how it works. 🙂

Also noticed that a recent change broke support for escaped wildcards on
Windows. Should be fixed here:
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/6397b6d7c42e

I found a similar section about wildcards in the docstring of `dir`. But I
agree that this function should behave more natively. (Don't ask me why. But I
guess because `ls` sounds more "POSIX-y" and `dir` does not...)

Instead of changing the behavior of `dir`, I pushed an update to its docstring
here:
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/c09fdabaa5b6
