[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59238] load variables from file: the next saving operation produces a faulty file

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #59238 (project octave):

@Markus: Thanks for creating a minimal example.  Can you try using binary
format?  This should resolve the issue.  If it does, it would also be a simple
patch for the symbolic package to use the "-binary" option.  There is
certainly an issue to address here, but it is also a failing code pattern to
rely on defaults (like -text with only LF endings) when those defaults are not
guaranteed.

Simple test:


cell_str = {"This\nis\na\ntest."};
save cell_str_text.txt cell_str -binary
cell_str2 = cell_str;
load cell_str_text.txt
isequal (cell_str, cell_str2)


Also, could you upload the file "cell_str_text.txt"?  I'd like to take a look
at the contents and the line endings.
