[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47538] textscan result different from 4.0.0 to dev

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #47538 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #1:

Actually the default value of ReturnOnError in Octave is the string
"continue", which is documented to mean keep reading even if a conversion
specifier doesn't match.

I'm not sure what the expected result is supposed to be with this option, but
if you explicitly set ReturnOnError to either true or false I think you get
the right answer, hopefully Matlab compatible.

The 4.0 version of textscan says

> warning: textscan: ReturnOnError is not fully implemented

By the way Matlab says that the default value of ReturnOnError is true, and
doesn't even mention a value of "continue", so I think this needs changing
anyway to be compatible.
