[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59848] dlmread returns wrong values when skipping non-numerical columns

[Rik]

Update of bug #59848 (project octave):

                  Status:            Works For Me => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #7:

I can reproduce the problem with the data files uploaded by Hartmut.

If I execute 'file dataA.csv' I get


dataA.csv: UTF-8 Unicode (with BOM) text, with CR line terminators


I think this is the source of the problem.  The line terminators are neither
UNIX (LF) nor Windows (CR LF), but old-style Macintosh line terminators (CR).

I used a text editor and search and replace function to substitute UNIX LF for
the CR characters and then dlmread works correctly.

What program generated this file and can you have it create more appropriate
line terminators?
