[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #29786] Octave does not save sparse matrices correctly in -mat format

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #29786 (project octave):

Hi,

I am trying to load a fairly large .mat file created by Matlab and I'm getting
a lot of errors like those shown in the original post here. 

using octave 3.4.0 and java-1.2.8

eg.
error: load: invalid element type = 0 

zero is very common 65535 also and raft of less frequent values. 

Do these numbers actually represent something related to "data element type"
or are they spurious values output because octave is incorrectly parsing the
data?

ie does this mean I have a dozen formats that are not supported or probably
just one ?

If it's just one I may have a go at fixing it or getting the data in an
acceptable format. 

Shouldn't Octave be trapping this a bit better?
