Follow-up Comment #6, bug #51231 (group octave):

this bug status is still unchanged in octave 11.1.0 and matlab 2025a

removing the REPEAT argument, the two programs produce:

Octave 11.1.0

>> data = textscan(fid,"%s %s %s"); data{:}
>> data{:}
ans =
{
  [1,1] = 11
  [2,1] = 22
}

ans =
{
  [1,1] = 12
  [2,1] = 31
}

ans =
{
  [1,1] = 21
  [2,1] = 32
}



Matlab 2025a

>> data = textscan(fid,"%s %s %s"); data{:}

ans =

  3×1 cell array

    {'11'}
    {'21'}
    {'31'}


ans =

  3×1 cell array

    {'12'}
    {'22'}
    {'32'}


ans =

  3×1 cell array

    {0×0 char}
    {0×0 char}
    {0×0 char}


this was recently brought up in another discussion on the Octave discourse,
with a potential patch but some ongoing BIST concerns.
