Re: char to int conversion problem

[Alessandro Brezzi]

Hi David,

2007/4/29, David Bateman <address@hidden>:

Yes this is a bug. Note octave has string delimited by both '' and "",
and treats them slightly different (escape characters are interpreted in
"" strings)..

Try the attached patch, it works for me :-)... Note that with "" it
worked before in any case..

Thank you for the tip. I'm now rebuilding the package for octave with your patch. In the meantime, I've found  a=char_vector('B') is working in both MatLab and Octave. Is this a feature or a bug?
