[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #8783] C++ implementation of textscan

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #48, patch #8783 (project octave):

@Lachlan:
Just to be sure we're tuned on the same wavelength: it is strread, not
textscan, that cares for is-the-last-char-an-EOL.
It gets important for textscan.cc only if we will use textscan.cc as backend
for strread.

AFAIK textscan in Matlab happily returns data vectors/arrays that can have
uneven length. To that end it only looks at the amount of data fields, not at
the last characters of the file/string.

And yes, in case of Matlab that may become an issue with the CollectOutput
param - I never tried though.

As to comment #46, if you're referring to Octave's textscan.m, you might have
discovered a new bug. (I'll check later)
