[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#593447: qtoctave: editor fails to run Octave scripts containing a '-'

[Jan Beyer]

Package: qtoctave
Version: 0.9.2+svn255-1
Severity: normal

When opening an Octave script file with a '-' in its file name in the
QtOctave editor, this file cannot be run (e.g. via menu Run / "Run
(F5)"). Run / "Send to Octave (F9)" works, however.

The Octave Terminal output reads (for a file called ingaas-calc.m, or
even ingaas-calc.oct):

>>> cd '/home/jan'
 ingaas-calc
>>>error: invalid call to script

Reducing the filename to ingaas.m makes it run without problems.

Best Regards,
Jan
