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

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #52479 (project octave):

Can the original reporter try the following in Matlab?


a = "\t\ta\tb\tc\n"
textscan(a, '%s', 'delimiter', {sprintf('\t')})


In Octave, this is returning a 4x1 cell array.  Whereas with just '\t' a 5x1
cell array is returned.

Also, I updated the patch from comment #2 and added BIST tests for this bug
report in file-io.cc.
