Details:

strread function has multiple issues including returning different results
compared to Matlab 

str = '[Common Infos]'; 
strread(str, '[%s', 'delimiter', ']') 

ans = 
'Common Infos' % 
(crashes under Octave) 

[a,b,c] = strread('1,,2', '%s%s%s', 'delimiter', ',') 

(does not return the same result under Octave; under Matlab, the second
element of the cell array is empty (as it should be) whereas under Octave the
third one is empty)
