[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63524] dir doesn't do full recursive search with '**'

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Update of bug #63524 (project octave):

              Item Group:                    None => Matlab Compatibility   
                  Status:               Need Info => Confirmed              
                 Summary: dir / glob not listing directories in some cases !
=> dir doesn't do full recursive search with '**'

Follow-up Comment #8:

Ok, confirming that in Matlab 2022b dir('**\*m') does recursion to full depth
(seeing at least five levels deep in that working folder, so I'll assume full
depth).  Octave still only does one level deep.  So that seems to be a legit
compatibility request.

Regarding glob, I have no idea where that blogger got a working version of
glob.  But searching Mathworks you get no function referenc, just that blog,
and in Matlab 2022b with a pile of toolboxes:


>> glob('*.m')
Undefined function 'glob' for input arguments of type 'char'.
 
>> glob("*.m")
Unrecognized function or variable 'glob'.

>> help glob
--- glob not found. Showing help for globe instead. ---

 globe  Earth as sphere in 3-D graphics
...

>> help @string/glob

@string/glob not found.
