<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I found Scilab has change the result of
'isnum' function for matrix of strings expresions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Example of a 2x2 string matrix in
5.2.2:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>-->a=['-4.5','';'','-5.6']<BR> a
=<BR> <BR>!-4.5
!<BR>!
!<BR>! -5.6
!<BR> <BR>-->isnum(a)<BR> ans =<BR> <BR> T F
<BR> F T I think this is the correct answer, because
a(1,2) and a(2,1) are not numbers !</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The same matrix in
5.3.0-beta 4:</FONT></DIV>

!<BR>!
!<BR>! -5.6
!<BR> <BR>-->isnum(a)<BR> ans =<BR> <BR> T T
<BR> T T I think this is wrong !</DIV></FONT>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Is this a bug or will it be the new behaviour
?, I think there is no reason for this change.</FONT></DIV>
