[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57086] textscan produces a garbled cell array: some data are missing, some values are wrong.

[Andrew Janke]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #57086 (project octave):

Thanks for providing a full reproduction case with your bug report! This'll
make it easy to work on.

Indeed looks like a textscan bug.

I can reproduce on Octave 4.4.1 on macOS 10.14.6. Doesn't sound like anything
OS-specific is going on.

One thing I can see is that the Dave.csv file looks like it's in ISO 8859-1
encoding, where I think recent Octaves expect the input to be in UTF-8
encoding. I don't see how that could cause textscan to screw up and leave out
lines; none of the over-128 characters appear in data rows, as far as I can
tell.
