[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45047] textread.m: n lines used as repeat count in strread

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #45047 (project octave):

Fixed in this cs:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/481fa65e5cab

It all took a bit more than I expected, as I found a other bugs. 

textscan.m has the same issues so I fixed them there as well. As textscan.m,
when reading from file, must preserve a file pointer position it makes sense
to indeed interpret N as the number of lines to read and follow your
suggestion. That part of the fix is still pending however.

I hope the info header +the added examples (esp. the last example) make it
more clear now about how 3rd input arg. N is to be interpreted.
