    _______________________________________________________

Details:

suppose the file foo.txt contains the single line

#  #

When reading the file via


a = textread ("foo.txt", "%s", "delimiter", ",")


one gets, however,

a =
{
  [1,1] = # #
}

which misses one space. When doing instead


a = textscan ("#  #", "%s", "delimiter", ",")


one correctly gets

a =
{
  [1,1] =
  {
    [1,1] = #  #
  }

}
