[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49660] textscan line ending skipped

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #49660 (project octave):

According to the documentation for Octave and the '%s' field specifier:


     '%s'
          The word is parsed as a string ending at the last character
          before whitespace, an end-of-line, or a delimiter specified in
          the options.


The documentation for REPEAT is 


    The optional numeric argument REPEAT can be used for limiting the
     number of items read:

     -1
          Read all of the string or file until the end (default).

     N
          Read until the first of two conditions occurs: 1) the format
          has been processed N times, or 2) N lines of the input have
          been processed.


Thus, 


data = textscan(fid, '%s',1)


should only read a single word which it does.

Verifying this with Matlab would be useful.
