I'm getting something slightly different. Not sure if it helps.

Hi,
I am new to octave. Writing some small test programs
I found the following "inconsistency" in the sscanf
function. When numbers are extracted a column
array is returned, however if strings are extracted
a row array is returned. Please note that the number of
fields identified ( written to length) is correct in both cases.
Have I misunderstood something, or is sscanf
behaving is an inconsistent manner ?.
