[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #33731] sscanf and fscanf not compatible with matlab

[John W. Eaton]

Update of bug #33731 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Need Info

Follow-up Comment #1:

Please give a precise example that can be used to demonstrate the problem of
returning a list of values instead of a matrix?

I see the following behavior with sscanf:


octave:1> str = '1 2 3 a b c';
octave:2> [a, count, msg, pos] = sscanf (str, '%f')
a =

   1
   2
   3

count =  3
msg = 
pos =  7
octave:3> str(pos)
ans = a


I updated the doc string to mention the "pos" output in this changeset:
