[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44641] strsplit fails to split with a delimiter of '<' or '>'

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #44641 (project octave):

The intent of the code is to escape anything that might look like a special
character to a regular expression.  The code currently takes anything which is
not a work character and escapes it which works great for '?' which is escaped
to '\?'.  Unfortunately, '\>' and '\<' are actual regular expressions
themselves which mean end-of-word and beginning-of-word.  Need to take a look
at the PCRE reference manual and determine if there are any other such special
expressions preceded by a slash and add them to line 191 in strsplit.m.
