[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50485] textscan() behavior incompatible with matlab in case of empty lines

[Motius]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #50485 (project octave):

I think a found a related bug:

a = "\t\ta\tb\tc\n"
textscan(a, '%s', 'delimiter', sprintf('\t'))


does not have the same output on Octave 4.0.3 and 4.2.1. 
Version 4.0.3 matches MatLab's (v2017a) interpretation.

With v4.0.3:

{
  [1,1] = 
  {
    [1,1] = 
    [2,1] = 
    [3,1] = a
    [4,1] = b
    [5,1] = c
  }
}


With 4.2.1:

{
  [1,1] = 
  {
    [1,1] = a
    [2,1] = b
    [3,1] = c
  }
}
