dlmread complex number - sign inverted

[inor0627]

Hello,

I tried to read a text file (complex.txt) containing complex numbers:
0; 3+4i; 22

the commands:
format free;
dlmread('complex.txt',';')'
result in:
ans =
 (0,-0)
 (3,-4)
 (22,-0)

All number are converted to complex numbers, that's okay for me. But why is
the sign of the imaginary part of 3+4i inverted? Is this the expected
result?
The behaviour is the same for 4.2.1-64 on Win10 as well as 3.8.2 on debian
8.

Ingo
