From the manual
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Strings.html#Strings============================================================================
In double-quoted strings, the backslash character is used to introduce escape
sequences that represent other characters. For example, `\n' embeds a newline
character in a double-quoted string and `\"' embeds a double quote character.
In single-quoted strings, backslash is not a special character.
