[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52550] textscan drops delimiter character for multi-character, cell-specified delimiter option

[Rik]

Update of bug #52550 (project octave):

                  Status:               Confirmed => In Progress

Follow-up Comment #11:

I amended the patch to include the proposed tests in comment #10 as BIST tests
in file-io.cc.  See the attached 52550.v2.cset.

One problem is that this BIST test is now failing


 %!test <52479>
 %! str = "\t\ta\tb\tc\n";
 %! ret = textscan (str, "%s", "delimiter", {"\t"});
 %! assert (ret, { {''; ''; 'a'; 'b'; 'c'} });


The issue is that the final string 'c' is being returned as "c\n".  This is
not the case if the delimiter is just "\t" without being a cell array.
