[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #38317] textread & textscan: different results for empy format strings than MATLAB

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #38317 (project octave):

Here are provisional patches for textread.m and textscan.m, providing the
behavior of ML as far as I could deduce it from 2013a.

textscan.m behaves a bit differently from textread.m in that it doesn't return
a rectangular array but just the right number of columns (cell arrays) in
returned output cell array, and it returns NaN in empty fields. 
The "EmptyValue" and "CollectOutput" parameters can be used to adapt this.

I'll wait a few days for your comments until I push these changes.
