Help....
I think I may have a bug but I'm not convinced yet...
I need to store the contents of a directory into a variable as such...
--------------
>> ls
file123 file134 file156 file167 file178 file201 file202 otherfile
>> ls file1*
file123 file134 file156 file167 file178
>> filelist=ls file1*
filelist = file123 file134 file156 file167 file178
--------------
Now this works because there are no 's' characters... however, after changing
each fileXXX to filesXXX... this happens
--------------
>> ls
files123 files156 files178 files202
files134 files167 files201 otherfiles
>> ls files1*
files123 files134 files156 files167 files178
>> filelist=ls files1*
filelist =
file
123 file
134 file
156 file
167 file
178
------------------------
Now.. whoever took my 's' characters.. please give them back....
If someone else could please try this I would like to know if it is just my
problem....
I have only noticed the problem with the 's' character
I am using octave 3.0.0, and tried both in normal shell, qtoctave and koctave..
all the same..
Any help/advice/'smacks on back of head for being an octave newbie'
appreciated...
