[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #58293] importdata doesn't like empty header lines

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #58293 (project octave):

Why don't you open up a new bug report that is on the correct topic.

For reference, Matlab does not recognize column headers unless they use the
correct delimiter

So,


HeaderB
1,2,3


results in textdata being equal to "HeaderB", no colheaders output, and data
field of [1 2 3].

Only if the delimiter and the number of fields match does Matlab assign
colheaders, rather than textdata.  For example,


HeaderA HeaderB HeaderC
1,2,3


doesn't produce colheaders because the delimiter isn't a ','.

Also,


HeaderA,HeaderB
1,2,3


doesn't work because the delimiter is correct, but there aren't three text
elements.
