Update of bug #54029 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #2:

Marking as confirmed, but lowering the priority since there are easy
workarounds.  dlmread is only to be used for numeric data.  The first line of
'aa.csv' is text and should be skipped entirely by specifying a range to
dlmread which excludes the first line.

How does Matlab handle this example file ('nan.csv')?


a,b,NaN,c
1,2,3,4
5,6,7,8


followed by


x = dlmread ('nan.csv')


How does Matlab handle this second example file ('nane.csv')?


a,b,NaNe,c
1,2,3,4
5,6,7,8


followed by


x = dlmread ('nane.csv')
