[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40723] ! shellcommand doesnt work in octave

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #40723 (project octave):

I see no way to make !shellcommand work without giving up ! as the logical not
operator.  It's unacceptable to me to introduce inconsistencies like "! is
logical not except if it appears at the beginning of a statement".

Do people really use !shellcommand frequently?

In any case, I think the best we can do is document this in the manual and FAQ
and close this bug report as "won't fix".
