mtlb_isspace

Description

There is no Scilab function equivalent for Matlab isspace but its behavior can be reproduced.

The function mtlb_isspace(A) is used by mfile2sci to replace isspace(A) when it was not possible to know what was the input while porting Matlab code to Scilab. This function will determine the correct semantic at run time. If you want to have a more efficient code it is possible to replace mtlb_isspace calls:

• If A is a character string matrix mtlb_isspace(A) may be replaced by asciimat(A)==32

• If A is not a character string matrix mtlb_isspace(A) may be replaced by zeros(A)

Caution: mtlb_isspace has not to be used for hand coded functions.
