[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #64366] [Octave Packages] (io) xlswrite can only save file to a specific directory

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #64366 (project octave):

Hmm I'm leaving for a week and just had time for a small test.
For me it works as designed with Octave-9.0.0 and io-2.6.5 which equals
io-2.6.4. apart from latest patches for JSON file handling.

@Arun:
Exactly what error / bug did you confirm? I'd you hit & confirmed quite
another issue.
Because what I find bizarre is that one traceback line in the third verbatim
block in your comment #3 mentions 'L.90 in  __OCT_oct2spsh__.m ' but AFAICS
that function only has 83 lines ...
Did you by any chance test with Petter's VM patches? (sorry for the unintended
implied whataboutism ... :-) )

The error messages you get show no line number for the actual originating
function (hmmm...) but looking at them I think they might come from e.g., L.84
in 
 private/__OCT_oct2xlsx__.m:
+verbatim+
.xls.sheets.shId = [xls.sheets.shId (max (xls.sheets.shId(wid)) + 1) ];
-verbatim-
where simply some numeric index is added to an array of such indices in a
struct field.
Similar constructs are in L.177, L.187. Elsewhere strings are concatenated.


Anyway, that is not the bug the OP reported and that I cannot reproduce.
