[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #58374] print function creates path not readable by latex

[Folken]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #58374 (project octave):

Thank you for the explanation!!

Actually the patch did not change anything..

The lines 973-975 of print.m sound suspicious to me:

## FIXME: should this be fixed in GL2PS?
  latex = strrep (latex, "\\includegraphics{}",
                  sprintf ("\\includegraphics{%s}", graphicsfile));


I did a small test script to check the lines:

graphicsfile = "C:/Users/User/Documents"
latex = "\\includegraphics{}"
latex = strrep (latex, "\\includegraphics{}",
                  sprintf ("\\includegraphics{%s}", graphicsfile))


With running the test script in the *command window* the result was like I
needed it (forward slashes):
latex = \includegraphics{C:/Users/User/Documents}

But running the commands in print.m lines 973-975 gives:
\includegraphics{C:\Users\User\Documents} ??? (backward slashes)


One other question: The lines 973-975 refer to the option of print
*pdflatexstandalone*
Were to I find the comparable code of lines 973-975, if I refer to the option
of print *pdflatex* only?
