[Scilab-users] Display of string in Scilab [was: Re: csvWrite trouble]

[Sylvestre Ledru]

Hello,

I think it is a legacy behavior of Scilab.
It is the same with the "!" around the strings. It complexifies the
copy/paste.
We could update these behaviors in a future release but this would
probably break some unitary tests and some other code.
