[Scilab-users] Problem with ascii()

[Federico Miyara]

Samuel,

I've found that the crash is not consistent. Sometimes it crashes, 
sometimes not. I actually discovered the problem in a much longer text 
read from a text file using mgetl() and inserting manually the line feed 
and cariage return characters (13 and 10).

The problem appears indeed when displaying, not creating, so it seems 
thar the problem is not with ascii() but, as you say, with the display 
feature (filename is any plain text file):


fid = mopen(filename, 'rt');
text1 = mgetl(fid, -1);
mclose(fid);

text = [];
for k=1:size(text1,1)
     text = [text, ascii(text1(k)), 13, 10];
end

text = ascii(text);


My first example ctrashes sometimes Scilab. Displaying this one either 
just entering the variable text or using disp(text) ctrashes it always 
(with a file with 3200 characters and 3 paragraphs)

Regards,

Federico
