winnt octave -- file formats

[david barnes]

Hi all,

first I must congratulate the people behind the win* install of octave --
it's a joy to install so dang easy,
and with the feel of an honest "configure,make,make install" boxed in a 
window!
It's great to know I can run my linux-written programs on win* with no 
trouble 8)

I have a quick query --
in winnt octave, if I use fscanf, I seem to pick up '^M' characters on 
line ends
is this the control feed CF or line return LR symbol,
and is there anything I should be aware of reading and writing files?
currently, it's causing all sorts of havoc to my strcmp() conditions;
so I sketched a quick strmatch() function, but has someone written a 
solid one?

thanks again,
David
