[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47874] error() fails when string contains a colon

[Robert Jenssen]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #47874 (project octave):

Sorry if this report was a bit cryptic. The "doc" for error() has:

It is also possible to assign an identification string to an error.
If an error has such an ID the user can catch this error as will be
shown in the next example.  To assign an ID to an error, simply call
‘error’ with two string arguments, where the first is the identification
string, and the second is the actual error.  Note that error IDs are in
the format "NAMESPACE:ERROR-NAME". 


I read this to mean that error should only assume that the first string is an
error ID if that string contains a ":" AND there are two string arguments.
