[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63353] Error in fscanf when maximum field width is specified and '%f' conversion used

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #63353 (project octave):

If I had to take a guess, I think Matlab divides the input stream based on the
field width and then applies the conversion to each chunk of input.  Octave,
however, seems to apply the conversion to the input and then move to whatever
remains of the input stream.

Matlab behavior:


v = sscanf ('1.234.567', '%3f')
v =
  1.2
  34.0
  567


Octave behavior:


v = sscanf ('1.234.567', '%3f')
v =
  1.234
  0.567
