Details:


csv files with CRLF line endings results strings containing a CR, with can
lead to unexpected results.

Consider the file a_CRLF.csv:


csh}127: file a_CRLF.csv
a_CRLF.csv: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators

csh?128: od -c a_CRLF.csv
0000000   a  \r  \n   1  \r  \n
0000006


and the following script


pkg load io;

a_CRLF = csv2cell('a_CRLF.csv')
double(a_CRLF{1,1})


it produces this output


a_CRLF =
{
  [1,1] = a
  [2,1] = 1
}
ans =
   97   13


note the 13 entry.
