[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52479] textscan ignores leading spaces when creating cell from string/file

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #52479 (project octave):

Confirmed on dev octave.

The following may be a clue:

>> textscan(a, '%s', 'delimiter', "\t", "whitespace", "")
ans =
{
  [1,1] =
  {
    [1,1] =
    [2,1] =
    [3,1] = a
    [4,1] = b
    [5,1] = c
  }

}


...so this may have to do with the default whitespace / delimiter collection.

ISTR to have mentioned this (= default whitespace/delimiter) earlier on in
another bug report about textscan in Octave >= 4.2.x
