Details:

The function strsplit takes a char array. If the char array has more than one
row, then only the first row is handled and the others are silently ignored:


octave:1> x = reshape ("axbycz", [2, 3])
x =

abc
xyz

octave:2> strsplit (x)
ans =
{
  [1,1] = abc
}


Not sure what Matlab is doing this days, but in 2013b, it was error saying
that input was not a string:


>> x = reshape ('axbycz', [2 3]);
>> strsplit (x)
Error using strsplit (line 81)
First input must be a string.
