tilde_expand ("^") returns ~ octave built on mingw on windows XP pro sp3

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA-2]

Hello

I have noticed today on octave 3.2.3/mingw by Benjamin
octave.exe:1> tilde_expand ("^")
ans = ^

The same phenomenon happened  all versions of octave on mingw that I have investigatred.

3.0.5   Benjamin
3.2.2   Benjamin
3.2.3   Benjamin
3.2.3+  Tatsuro
3.3.50+ Tatsuro

Hmmm?
I suspect that the recent Windows update is the origin of this anomalous behavior.
However no proof exist at present.    

A few weeks before  tilde_expand ("^") works correct on my computer.

I will test it on the computer in my house (windows XP Home sp3).

Anyway the collection of information is important.

I ask users of octave/ mingw test   tilde_expand ("^") reports results with information kind of OS.
(ex. XP Professional, VISTA Home Premium and so on. )

Regards

Tatsuro

I'm confused about what you are trying to say. From what I understand,
tilde_expand ("^") is to return just that (a 'hat' or 'caret'
character). tilde_expand("~") with a tilde, returns the path of the home
directory.

Tatsuro,
are you mixing character ?

 tilde_expand ("~")
ans = /home/itq00146
