fid = fopen('data/data_file.csv');
all_messages = textscan(fid, format, 'delimiter', ',');
Returns:
error: ‘textscan’ undefined
How do you fix this?
Core answer
The
textscanfunction was added to Octave in version 3.4.0, which was released in February 2011. Your best option, then, is to install a newer version of Octave. If, for some reason, that is not an option you could try usingfscanf(as suggested here).History
The
textscanfunction is not mentioned in the new function list in the version 3.4 release news, buttextscan.mis not present in the version 3.2.4 distribution.It appears to have been added as a result of this ticket (scroll to the bottom of the ticket), which was created as a result of this request.
