[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #37961] textscan : whitespace specification doesn't work

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #18, bug #37961 (project octave):

Well, it may not be so very super-easy.

(1) Wouldn't such a fix, on top of the 5 Ben mentioned, interfere with the
actual fix from almost a year ago (changeset 14213:a022c04f68cc by Rik) once
those 5 are finally merged into the next stable release?

(2) Simply (pre-)defining the variable "whitespace" isn't the way to go as
that will induce many obscure problems later on in strread.m
Luckily the actual fix boils down to replacing L. 114
      args{ipos+1} = unique ([" ", whitespace]);
with
      args{ipos+1} = unique ([" ", args{ipos+1}]);

...plus adding a ";" at the end of L.109
(all relative to the Octave-3.6.3 sources)
