[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #34713] str2double() ignores spaces and multiple commas

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #34713 (project octave):

                  Status:               Confirmed => Fixed                  
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #8:

If I read this bug history correctly, the only remaining issue was whether to
treat the comma as a decimal separator depending on locale?

I think we are now pretty sure that we don't want to do that, and took some
steps in the most recent version to ensure even more strongly that LC_NUMERIC
is set to C.

Matlab apparently ignores all commas in numeric literals, e.g.


>> str2double('1,2,3,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,4,,,,,,,,,,,,,')
ans = 1234


and Octave behaves exactly the same way now.

Closing as fixed.
