[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52550] textscan drops delimiter character for multi-character, cell-specified delimiter option

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #52550 (project octave):

Something is still wrong/inconsistent here.  Note the difference between the
two modes for integer input format (as opposed to string):


octave:32> a = ",,1,2,3\n";
octave:33> textscan(a, '%d', 'delimiter', ',')
ans =
{
  [1,1] =

    0
    0
    1
    2
    3

}

octave:34> textscan(a, '%d', 'delimiter', {','})
ans =
{
  [1,1] = [](0x1)
}

octave:35> b = " , ,1,2,3\n";
octave:36> textscan(b, '%d', 'delimiter', ',')
ans =
{
  [1,1] =

    0
    0
    1
    2
    3

}

octave:37> textscan(b, '%d', 'delimiter', {','})
ans =
{
  [1,1] = [](0x1)
}

octave:38>
