Update of bug #59065 (project octave): Priority: 5 - Normal => 3 - Low _______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comment #1: Hmmm, this is wrapped up in the distinction Octave makes between double-quoted strings and single-quoted strings. Escape characters are processed in double-quoted strings so this works in Octave (and Matlab): a = input ("line1\nline2\nline3: ") If you want to process escape characters within single-quoted strings in Octave you need to use something like the sprintf() function. a = input (sprintf ('line1\nline2\nline3: ')) This probably only gets addressed permanently if we decide to drop support for double-quoted character arrays and then re-use the '"' character to indicate string array as Matlab now does. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59065> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
