[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #38317] textread & textscan give different results in MATLAB and Octave

[Stig]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #38317 (project octave):

I see. The columns were aligned when I copied the output from the program. I
thought the whitespace was removed by the software on this site because I
didn't use the verbatim markup (which I should have done).

This is what it really looks like:


>> textread('deaths.txt', '', 'headerlines', 3)

ans =

         0    5.6900    4.3700
    1.0000    0.5800    0.5900
    2.0000    0.4300    0.4200
    3.0000    0.3100    0.2900
    4.0000    0.2300    0.2100
    5.0000    0.1800    0.1500
    6.0000    0.1500    0.1200
    7.0000    0.1500    0.1000
    8.0000    0.1500    0.1000
    9.0000    0.1700    0.0600
   10.0000    0.2000    0.0600
   11.0000    0.1900    0.0800
   12.0000    0.2000    0.0900
.
.
.


Just doing a test down here. If the columns below are aligned, I must have
messed up somewhere else.

>> textread('deaths.txt', '', 'headerlines', 3)

ans =

         0    5.6900    4.3700
    1.0000    0.5800    0.5900
    2.0000    0.4300    0.4200
    3.0000    0.3100    0.2900
    4.0000    0.2300    0.2100
    5.0000    0.1800    0.1500
    6.0000    0.1500    0.1200
    7.0000    0.1500    0.1000
    8.0000    0.1500    0.1000
    9.0000    0.1700    0.0600
   10.0000    0.2000    0.0600
   11.0000    0.1900    0.0800
   12.0000    0.2000    0.0900
