diff libinterp/corefcn/ls-oct-text.cc @ 28161:ef349f5c320b

Load structures with arbitrary string fieldnames (bug #50831, bug #46645). * ls-oct-text.h, ls-oct-text.cc (read_text_data): Consider additional optional bool argument to skip validation of input name. * ov-struct.cc (octave_struct::load_ascii, octave_scalar_struct::load_ascii): Call read_text_data with additional argument (skip_validation), set to true. * test/bug-50831/bug-50831.tst, test/bug-50831/module.mk: New test files.
