[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51187] ISMEMBER fails if the string ends in a space:

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #51187 (project octave):

IIRC correctly (I already tried that this week) Matlab returns a single 1. In
the online ML docs there's a similar example.
Later today I'll verify.

I attach a preliminary fix using a for loop (yes, ugly, but I couldn't find a
vectorized way to convert a char array into a cellstr array w/o truncation
trailing whitespace)

I have another case that needs attention and that I was busy trying to fix as
well:

abc = ['a '; 'b '; 'c ']
ismember (abc, {abc})


Matlab (r2016b):

ans = 
1
1
1


Octave, with the attached patch:

ans =
1
0
0
