Update of bug #49451 (project octave):
Status: None => Confirmed
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #2:
As a temporary workaround, use single quotes to avoid interpretation of escape
sequences by the Octave interpreter. This also tends to make the patterns
more readable which is why I always do this.
regexprep("_ aaaa _", '\<\w{4}', "b")
ans = _ b _
The issue is likely to be that double quoted strings are being run through
do_string_escapes twice. First, by the Octave interpreter and then a second
time by regexprep.
