[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50619] textscan weird behaviour when reading a csv

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #50619 (project octave):

I've confirmed this behavior in linux with the development version.  The
pertinent code resides in libinterp/corefun/oct-stream.cc, probably
textscan::do_scan().

The only other detail I see is that ";he [deg]" also works, but not ";hea
[deg]".  With ";he [deg]", the total length of the first line is 64
characters, including the carriage-return character.  I presume what is
happening is the first textscan() is searching for the next field after the
first group of reads and advances the file pointer.  But the REPEAT field is
present, "1", so the algorithm should stop after that seventh string field.
