[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #8783] C++ implementation of textscan

[Lachlan Andrew]

Follow-up Comment #46, patch #8783 (project octave):

Philip, I've been looking at the uneven-lines issue.

Under Linux at least, the current textscan seems to output uneven lines even
if the last character in the file is an end-of-line.  However, it outputs even
lines if the last *two* characters are bot end-of-line.  My guess is that the
last EOL gets swallowed by the process that reads in the line.  My guess is
also that most applications don't care whether or not the output is padded
when the last scan is incomplete; garbage-in-garbage-out...  Still, I'll keep
trying to get it to work, for completeness.


octave:1> f = fopen ("partial.txt")
f =  3
octave:2> a = textscan (f, "%d %d %d")
a = 
{
  [1,1] =

    1
    4

  [1,2] = 2
  [1,3] = 3
}



$ od -h --format x1 partial.txt
0000000  2031  2032  0a33  0a34
        31 20 32 20 33 0a 34 0a
