[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59527] num2str: percent sign removes newline for column vector

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #59527 (project octave):

The problem seems to be the check for more than one format specifier here:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/d09dde091073/scripts/general/num2str.m#l133

That check was added in the following changeset:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/annotate/f357e076776f/scripts/general/num2str.m#l122

Maybe skip "%%" in the format using something like the attached change?  I
don't know whether this quick fix could be fooled in some other ways though,
so a better check for format specifiers may be needed.  Either way, we could
uses tests for these cases, of course..
