I've made two patches to textscan recently.  I don't know if it was those, or some earlier work, but the motivating example in this bug report now works correctly.

I added a BIST test for this bug report just to make sure it doesn't recur (https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/c805c1b541fa).

Marking as fixed and closing report.

This may be related to deficiencies in the default sets of whitespace and delimiter characters.

Confirmed, same with either a space or tab character. Does not affect other more rare space characters like \f or \v.

The option MultipleDelimsAsOne does not seem to work under certain circumstances:


>> textscan(sprintf('a\t\tb\tc'),'%s','Delimiter','\t','MultipleDelimsAsOne',false)
ans =
{
  [1,1] =
  {
    [1,1] = a
    [2,1] = b
    [3,1] = c
  }
}


Matlab returns {{'a';'';'b';'c'}} as expected. It works with a different delimiter, eg:


>> textscan('a//b/c','%s','Delimiter','/','MultipleDelimsAsOne',false)
ans =
{
  [1,1] =
  {
    [1,1] = a
    [2,1] =
    [3,1] = b
    [4,1] = c
  }
}
