[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57158] Shorten output of "path" on terminal by replacing OCTAVE_HOME part

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #57158 (project octave):

path() has two calling forms.  If you don't request an output, the data gets
printed to screen.  Otherwise, it makes a  single path-separated string.  One
possibility would be to change only the 0-output form to show OCTAVE_HOME.

A second possibility would be to document how to translate the output to a
full path.  For example,


strrep ("OCTAVE_HOME/path1/path2", "OCTAVE_HOME", OCTAVE_HOME())
or
strcat (OCTAVE_HOME(), "/path1/path2")
