[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50485] textscan() auto-detection of format is not Matlab compatible

[Rik]

Update of bug #50485 (project octave):

                Priority:              5 - Normal => 3 - Low                
                 Summary: textscan() behavior incompatible with matlab in case
of empty lines => textscan() auto-detection of format is not Matlab compatible

Follow-up Comment #7:

Update: 3/29/2020.

The motivating example from comment #0


s = textscan(sprintf('2,1,\n,,\n2,,3'),'',-1,'delimiter',','); s{:}


works if the explicit format '%f %f %f' is given.

Re-titling report to indicate that the current problem is that the format is
not automatically detected in the same way as Matlab.

Lowering the priority as there is a simple workaround which is to give Octave
a hint about the the data by supplying a format.
