Re: loading matrix.. no error, but undefined variable

[Alberto Simões]

Hello

Do not think it is any big deal :)

Was mostly curious.

Thanks

Good, thanks. I get the same thing. It looks to me like the file format
auto-detection is what's hiding the error in this case. If you
specifically try different formats, load *does* report an error:

  octave:19> load foo.txt
  octave:20> whos
  octave:21> load -ascii foo.txt
  error: load: foo.txt: inconsistent number of columns near line 2
  error: load: unable to extract matrix size from file 'foo.txt'
  octave:21> load -text foo.txt
  error: load: empty name keyword or no data found in file 'foo.txt'
  octave:21> load -binary foo.txt
  error: load: unable to read read binary file
  octave:21> load -mat foo.txt
  error: load: can't read binary file

If you think this is something that should be fixed, please submit a bug
report at https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=octave

HTH,
