[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #37092] backslash escape character in regexp

[Guillaume]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #37092 (project octave):

Thanks for your comments.

With MATLAB R2012a, I get this:

>> regexprep('','\','backslash')
ans =
backslash
>> regexprep('b','\b','backslash')
ans =
backslash


Let me know if you need other user cases.
I came across this with some MATLAB code I use to escape a string for
insertion in LaTeX:

regexprep(string,{'\','_'},{'\\','\_'})

I am not sure how to write some code that will work similarly for both Octave
and MATLAB.
