Details:

The option MultipleDelimsAsOne does not seem to work under certain
circumstances:


>>
textscan(sprintf('a\t\tb\tc'),'%s','Delimiter','\t','MultipleDelimsAsOne',false)
ans =
{
  [1,1] =
  {
    [1,1] = a
    [2,1] = b
    [3,1] = c
  }
}


Matlab returns {{'a';'';'b';'c'}} as expected. It works with a different
delimiter, eg:


>> textscan('a//b/c','%s','Delimiter','/','MultipleDelimsAsOne',false)
ans =
{
  [1,1] =
  {
    [1,1] = a
    [2,1] =
    [3,1] = b
    [4,1] = c
  }
}
