(Sorry for late reply, I'm on vacation abroad w/o much Internet access)

The example file you posted contains an empty line. Is that correct?
When I interpret your datafile as 

"   1. 1 \n 2 3\n"

I get:


octave-3.6.2.exe:13> data = textscan("   1. 1 \n 2 3\n", '%f %f')
data =
{
  [1,1] =

       1
     NaN
       3

  [1,2] =

     1
     2

}


...which indeed looks suspicious. I'll have a look at it in the next weeks.

As a workaround, you can also specify the "whitespace" parameter:


octave-3.6.2.exe:14> data = textscan("   1. 1 \n 2 3\n", "%f %f",
"whitespace", "")
data =
{
  [1,1] =

     1
     2

  [1,2] =

     1
     3

}


Thanks for the report.
