[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #42022] dlmread: A(I,J): column index out of bounds; value 2 out of bound 1

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #42022 (project octave):

What does Matlab do for the same input?

I've checked the code in dlmread.cc and the issue is that dlmread is built to
read only numeric data.  The documentation from Matlab is also clear that the
function is only for numeric data
(http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/dlmread.html).

I agree it would be nice to have a better warning message, but it also might
not be worth fixing since this is a corner case and the function is not being
used according to its docstring so all bets are off.
