[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47539] textscan misinterprets escape sequences in single quoted strings

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #47539 (project octave):

In file oct-stream.cc:

1535           else  // Reading more than the whole buf; return it in buffer
1536             {
1537               retval = buffer;
1538               // FIXME -- read bufsize at a time
1539               int i;
1540               for (i = 0; i < size && ! eof (); i++)
1541                 *buffer++ = get_undelim ();
1542               if (eof ())
1543                 memset (buffer, 0, size - i);


I added a statement after line 1541 so that it now reads:

1541                 *buffer++ = get_undelim ();
1542               *buffer = ' ';
1543               if (eof ())
1544                 memset (buffer, 0, size - i);


This fixes the problem with printing Lars's large text file for me, but it
does not seem the most robust solution. Someone please check.
