Details:

In Matlab when you pass an escaped string to regexprep, it is returned
'unescaped' but not in Octave, e.g.

in Octave:


> regexprep('s', 's', regexptranslate('escape','some.thing'))
ans = some.thing


in Matlab:


>> regexprep('s', 's', regexptranslate('escape','some.thing'))

ans =

some.thing
