[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55577] textscan should reject any single-precision arg as invalid (file-io.cc-tst BIST test failure)

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #14, bug #55577 (project octave):

Is there some reason that we can't just use the same code that is used by
other functions like fread that work with file IDs?


  octave::stream_list& streams = interp.get_stream_list ();

  octave::stream os = streams.lookup (args(0), "fread");


The lookup function allows lookup by name or number.  Using this same approach
would make it consistent.  If there is something wrong with finding the file
this way, then I think it should be addressed in the same way for all
functions that work with file IDs.
