[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49718] Octave crashes on print/saveas etc when installed on a directory with parenthesis

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #52, bug #49718 (project octave):

You're right. It should probably have been this:

         cleanup_cmd = sprintf ('del "%s"', strrep (offsetfile, '/', '\'));
       else
-        cleanup_cmd = sprintf ('rm "%s"', strrep (offsetfile, '/', '\'));
+        cleanup_cmd = sprintf ('rm "%s"', offsetfile);
       endif
     endif
     unwind_protect


Strangely, it doesn't cause an error for me though. But there are temporary
files that aren't deleted.
@Mike: Could you please try with the above change or something similar?
