Details:

GNU Octave Version: 4.0.0, io 2.4.0


fn = "mytest.xlsx";
wsh = "testme"
arr = {"foobar",
       "foo_bar",
       "foo%bar",
       "foo&bar",
       "foo$bar",
       "end"};

xlswrite (fn, arr, wsh, "A1:A6", "OCT")


In the generated file the last cell is "foo%bar", the strings afterwards are
not written.
