Hello everybody, I would like to add to matlab path a path containing a colon (:), which is actually a separator between folder paths. I have tried \ as an escape character but didn't work. I would like to addpath('C:') in linux machine Thanks for the help

Unlike Windows, Linux allows directory names with “:”. Having “:” in a directory name on the MATLAB search path is currently unsupported. I work for MathWorks and I have forwarded this to the appropriate team.
