Details:
With dev sources strread.m:
octave.exe:3> strread ("5 3", "%2d")
error: strread: Field width '%2d' (fmt spec # 1) extends beyond word limit
error: called from:
error: C:\home\Philip\Mydocs\octave\strread.m at line 442, column 1
I (we) have to think up what to do if a format with specified width (like %2s)
extends beyond an EOL delimiter.
This issue is similar to what I described here:
https://mailman.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/octave-maintainers/2011-August/024406.html
...about Matlab silently accepting fields being less wide than the format
specifier width expects.
We know what ML does then, but perhaps we need to inform the user (by warning
rather than error) that the format string doesn't exactly match the file,
rather than going on silently.
What do you think?
