[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50813] importdata returns cell-of-strings instead of struct

[Philip Nienhuis]

Update of bug #50813 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Need Info

Follow-up Comment #1:

I cannot reproduce your problem with a simple .txt file as follows:
A  B
1  2
3  4
saved as test.txt

Matlab r2016b:

>> format compact
>> A = importdata ('test.txt')
A = 
  struct with fields:

          data: [2×2 double]
      textdata: {'A'  'B'}
    colheaders: {'A'  'B'}
>> 


Octave 4.2.0 and 4.3.0+ (the latter dev. version):

>> format compact
>> A = importdata ('test.txt')
A =
  scalar structure containing the fields:
    data =
       1   2
       3   4
    textdata =
    {
      [1,1] = A,B
    }
    colheaders =
    {
      [1,1] = A
      [1,2] = B
    }

>>


If you want us to look further into it please upload a test file that works in
Matlab and provokes the bug in Octave.

Status => Need info
