[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #58055] ftell() incorrect on MS Windows platforms if file is not encoded with CRLF line endings

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #58055 (project octave):

ftell is not reliable for files opened in text mode.

If I understand correctly, when you open a file in text mode on a Windows
system, then CRLF line endings are translated.  Octave will only see a LF
('\n') character.  I don't think that is something that Octave does, but is a
feature of opening and reading a file in text mode.

Maybe we can improve the documentation.
