Help Request

[Romanello, Vincenzo]

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

I am trying to switch from MATLAB to OCTAVE (the present version I adopted is 3.2.4 – gcc 4.4.0), and I have to read a very simple text file with “textread” function.

I wrote the following program:

 

function test

clear

disp("Begin")

[a,b,c]=textread("data.txt","%d %d %d");

a

b

c

d=a+b+c

disp("End")

endfunction test

 

data.txt looks like this:

 

1 2 3

4 5 6

7 8 9

 

The point which puzzles me is that the procedure runs recursively until it reaches the default limit then giving and error, while I wish obviously to run it only once. I tried also to include a number in the textread command (as textread("data.txt","%d %d %d",1) or textread("data.txt","%d %d %d",-1)), but it doesn’t work. I suspect it is a bug... Is it? Should you suggest me something?

Thank you in advance for your kind help.

Best regards

 

Vincenzo
