[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #33536] strread returns incorect results and is not compatibile with Matlab

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #33536 (project octave):

I almost have a fix ready, but I first need to test at work with the files
that gave rise to bug # 32720 (hopefully next week I'll have an opportunity to
do that).

The issue is closely related to entangled whitespace and delimiter processing.
Whitespace processing (i.e. user-supplied) was absent in strread-as-is and
(largely) fixed in bug #32720 (but the fix was not applied yet).

Would it be OK to close bug # 32720 and supply combined patches for #32720 and
this bug (#33536)? (for both strread.m and textread.m)
In hindsight the patches I sent for 32720 could have been a bit better anyway
:-)
