Details:

Sample code


C = textscan(sprintf ('one\ntwo\nthree\nfour\n'), '%s %s')


In Matlab, C{1} contains "one", "two", "three", "four", and C{2} contains four
"" entries.

In Octave, the newline gets eaten and the the second '%s' format takes the
next string.


C =
{
  [1,1] =
  {
    [1,1] = one
    [2,1] = three
  }

  [1,2] =
  {
    [1,1] = two
    [2,1] = four
  }

}
