[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54982] [octave forge] (optim) optim_doc crashes

[Georg Wiora]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #54982 (project octave):

Please reopen. I think I can provide the missing information: optim_doc fails
to open "info" executable on windows system if the executable path contains
spaces. You need to quote the file name when submitting it with system
command.

In version 1.6.2 of optim package this is in lines 65 an 69 of optim_doc.

This is how line 65 looks with quotes added

    status = system (sprintf ("\"%s\" \"%s\" --index-search \"%s\"", INFO,
infopath, keyword));


And this is the same for 69

    status = system (sprintf ("\"%s\" \"%s\"", INFO, infopath));


I have appended the m-file with fixes.


(file #54213)
