Indeed :-)

Could you supply a minimal data and code sample to illustrate your issue,
please?
If so I'll have a look at it.

In L.201 of textscan.m the headerlines arguments (if present) are dropped,
so strread.m should never see it. So I'm curious what command you use to
invoke textscan.

Ohh... but of course that is in the development version, sorry.... it may
well be that in 3.6.4 you are indeed stuck with an old version of textscan
(and its friends textread and strread).

The best might be to have a little patience until Octave 3.8.0 is released
(I think within a few weeks).
