Details:

Textscan continues to read past EOL if the format specifier contain more
element than the line has. 

For example using the code below:

textscan(file_current, '%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s', 2,
'delimiter', ',','EndofLine','\r\n')


if i read something that has 16 values in a CSV, it would go to the next line
and continue reading to fill the remaining "%s" are completely filled,
ignoring the EOL at the end of line 1.

This code has been tested in Matlab and behaved differently. It would continue
to read until EOL and fill the remaining elements with NaN. This would
preserve the location of all the strings in the CSV. 

Thanks,
Ashwin
