[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49718] Octave crashes on print/saveas etc when installed on a directory with parenthesis

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #49, bug #49718 (project octave):

There is this piece of code at around line 885 in print.m (function epstool)
that selects ghostscript effectively for Windows (dos_shell). It is also where
the temporary file (filein) is appended again to the ghostscript command.


    if (pipein)
      if (dos_shell)
        filein(filein=="'") = '"';
        gs_cmd = __ghostscript__ ("binary", opts.ghostscript.binary,
                                  "device", epsdevice,
                                  "source", "-",
                                  "output", filein);
        cmd = sprintf ("%s %s & %s", gs_cmd, filein, cmd);
      else
        cmd = sprintf ("cat > %s ; %s", filein, cmd);
      endif
    endif
