Hi Alois,
the behavior of Gawk's sub, gsub, gensub functions has changed, I expect
oct2mat
uses the old style, to replace the Octave style "\" into Matlab style "..." at
the end of lines. It's important how many "\\\\\\..." you take, cf. the GNU awk
user manual. The solution for your problem here is 4 ;) You also can remove the
braces "[]" here because they don't make any sense for me (am I wrong?). Your
line should look like
gsub ("\\\\$", "...");
BTW, here is my test line
$ awk --version
GNU Awk 3.1.6
$ awk '{ gsub ("\\\\$", "..."); print }' testfile.txt
printf ("Some Octave ...
code. And here is even\n...
more code");
with the contents of testfile.txt
$ cat testfile.txt
printf ("Some Octave \
code. And here is even\n\
more code");
Best regards,
Thomas
