Re: Bug in Octave 8.2.0

Ian,

 

That looks like a bug to me, too.

Could you please open a report on GNU Octave - Bugs: Submit Item [Savannah]?

The problem seems to be in the first line of fullfile which converts all empty parameters into []

fullfile() operates on strings or cells. so:

      fullfile('path', {'a','b'})

produces:

    ans =
    {
      [1,1] = path\a
      [1,2] = path\b
    }

 

However:

    fullfile('path', {})

produces:

    ans = path

 

This is surely a bug??   {} is not the same as ''

 

Cheers... Ian
