[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41630] Importdata function fails with Unable to determine delimiter error

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #41630 (project octave):

Thanks for reviewing & pushing.

Is find() really faster, also on big files? I can imagine that index() is
ploughing through the entire file if no matching EOL is found.

Originally I had index() search only in the first 
min (filelength, 4096)
bytes to limit excessive search time; I dropped it but I cannot recall anymore
why :-( (hmmm aging memory I suppose)
If you want I can make a cs to reintroduce this.
