    _______________________________________________________

Details:

When parentheses  should be processed e.g. regexprep("tes)t", ')', '') Octave
returns "error: regexprep: unmatched parentheses at position 0 of expression"

The command regexprep("tes!t", '!', '') will just remove the ! 
This works as expected. There seems to be check for balance of parentheses
this must be removed here.
