Hello,

Here's the test code:

asciicode = [97, 0, 0, 98, 0, 0, 99];
str = char(asciicode);
delimiter = '\0';
C = strsplit(str,delimiter)


The result should be:

C = 

    'a'    'b'    'c'


The code works fine in Matlab, but fails in Octave with the following error
message:


error: regexp: missing ) at position 1 of expression
error: called from
    strsplit at line 212 column 19
    stringexperiment at line 7 column 3
