Follow-up Comment #8, bug #34731 (project octave):
Here you go:
octave:6> isdir ('F:')
ans = 1
octave:7> isdir ('F:')
ans = 1
octave:8> isdir ("F:")
error: unterminated string constant
parse error:
syntax error
>>> isdir ("F:")
^
octave:8> isdir ("F:\")
ans = 1
octave:9> isdir ("F:/")
ans = 1
octave:10> isdir ("F:/svn/octave.sf.net")
ans = 1
octave:11>
Unfortunately I have no debug Octave. Tatsuro might have.
The backslash is a problematic character on Windows, as far as Octave goes.
But even while using Octave on Windows, I often use forward slash rather than
backslash in path names - it works as good as a backslash (!), as you can see
above in prompts 9 & 10.
In my .octaverc file I have forward slashes in all path names (to default dir,
to Notepad++ editor, etc).
Perhaps this is a way out? to simply skip "filesep" - I can only guess that
the MinGW file I/O libs substitute the proper file separator at the right
time.
