[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54592] regexprep gets confused when parentheses should be processed

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #54592 (project octave):

I asked for the opening parenthesis test in the first batch of regexprep tests
and the results are that it works without error.


regexprep ('tes)t', '(', '')
ans =
    'tes)t'


Someone should perform the open bracket '[' test, but it seems likely that it
too will pass.

If it is escaping unmatched meta-characters, does it recognize escapes?


regexprep ('tes)t', '())', '#')
regexprep ('tes)t', '(\))', '#')
