octave-4.4.2 fails to load created by it empty text file - binary OK

[Sergei Steshenko]

Hello All,

the following sequence:

"

octave:1> foo = []
foo = [](0x0)
octave:2> save('-ascii', 'foo.txt', 'foo')
octave:3> load('-ascii', 'foo.txt')
error: load: file 'foo.txt' seems to be empty!
octave:3> version
ans = 4.2.2
"

explains is it all. Is it the way it is supposed to be ?



With binary:

"

octave:4> foo = []
foo = [](0x0)
octave:5> save('-binary', 'foo.bin', 'foo')
octave:6> load('-binary', 'foo.bin')
octave:7> foo
foo = [](0x0)
octave:8>
"

works as expected.
