[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53277] textscan(...) does not parse sequence of integers separated by dots (.)

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #53277 (project octave):

@Philip: Octave has both scanf and sscanf and they are both in
libinterp/corefcn/file-io.cc.  The textscan function is in the same file. 
Eventually, textscan seems to be implemented in oct-stream.cc.  jwe did the
work on this so I think it would be good to ask him at OctConf 2018 about
this.

I can confirm that exponent separators are also a problem, although they work
fine with sscanf.


octave:1> str = "1e2e3"
str = 1e2e3
octave:2> sscanf (str, "%de%de%d")
ans =

   1
   2
   3

octave:3> textscan (str, "%de%de%d")
ans =
{
  [1,1] = 100
  [1,2] = 3
  [1,3] = 0
}
