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

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #21, bug #59238 (project octave):

Some of the load_ascii functions use tellg/seekg (or equivalent) on the input
stream.  Unless we can avoid those positioning commands, we can't open the
files in text mode.

I thought that any place where we stored text we also stored the number of
characters.  Is that not correct?

If a tool simply replaces LF with CRLF, couldn't that cause trouble if we have
saved strings that have embedded LF characters?
