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

[Lachlan Andrew]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #47539 (project octave):

Here is a patch that fixes the random junk bug.  Note that it is not a
cumulative patch -- you need both it and file #36763.  (Note to whoever
commits this: please let me know if you'd prefer me to merge them.)

The problem was that the code does its own buffering to make lookahead and
backtracking faster, and the set of delimiters used to prevent overrun of that
buffer was different from the ones used to separate the %s strings.

It still has a bug: It returns an extra line containing only 1Ah (=26).  I'll
look into that next -- but it should be easy to work around in the mean time.

(file #36784)
