I have a pretty extensive software consisting of multiple .m and .mat files. Code is supposed to have some processing done and results saved based on imported files. There are dynamic paths and absolute paths in the code which are written for Windows (with backslash). When I run the code on Mac, code crashes due to this. I wanted to run a script which will replace all backslashes with forwardslashes in all the .m and .mat files. Issue here is that there are also escape sequences (like newline and others) which must use backslash. So I can’t run the script as it would mess up escape sequences. I fell back to running code on Windows machine. Is there really no chance of somehow setting execution on higher lever and ordering Matlab to always convert paths? I feel it is a simple issue with a complex solution and it should not exist at all.I have a pretty extensive software consisting of multiple .m and .mat files.
