Function edit_double_quotes(fns)
edit_double_quotes(fns,d)
edits (rewrites) m-files given in cell-array of strings,
fns, by:
-- replacing double quotes by single quotes at string
literals without backslashes. E.g. the code:
s = "text";
is changed into:
s = 'text';
-- inserting 'sprintf(''%s'',' and ')' before and after
string literals with backslashes. E.g. the code:
s = "text\ntext";
is changed into:
s = sprintf('%s',"text\ntext");
This works as long as the sprintf() function returns a
character vector, _because_ the _template_ is given as
a character vector, even if the second input argument
may well be given as a double-quote string.
If the second input argument is not given, or if it is
empty, the original m-file, ending by '.m', is renamed,
and its new name will end with '_yyyymmdd_hhmmss.m'. The
resulting m-file will then get the name of the original
m-file.
If the second input argument is a non-empty string, the
original m-file is not renamed, and the resulting m-file
with the name of the original m-file is written into the
directory.
