[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44967] load() does not load ascii-file matrix when there is an NA in final column

[Rik]

Update of bug #44967 (project octave):

                Priority:              5 - Normal => 4                      
                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              
                 Release:                   3.8.2 => dev                    
        Operating System:                  Mac OS => Any                    
                 Summary: load() does not load ascii-file matrix, when there
are too many NA values: => load() does not load ascii-file matrix when there
is an NA in final column

Follow-up Comment #1:

Confirmed.  The problem is not too many NA values.  The following has a lot of
NA, but works.



octave:29> x = ones (3)
x =

   1   1   1
   1   1   1
   1   1   1

octave:30> x(:, [1 2]) = NA
x =

    NA    NA     1
    NA    NA     1
    NA    NA     1

octave:31> save -ascii mat5.asc x
octave:32> clear x
octave:33> load -ascii mat5.asc
octave:34> who
Variables in the current scope:

mat5

octave:35> mat5
mat5 =

    NA    NA     1
    NA    NA     1
    NA    NA     1


The problem, however, seems to be that even a single NA value in the final
column is enough to stop the parsing of the file.  Also, note that NaN works
fine.  It is only NA values that prevent parsing.
