#583 Implicit Type Conversion

[RM Nair]

The csv file read has 4 cols. So uint8 is okay.

However, if the number of rows exceed 256, only 256 rows are read.

If the type for ColNum is changed to uint16, all rows are read.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
ColNum = cast(str2num(getline('Col Number To Plot?')), 'uint8');

tmp = csvread(CSV_FileName);

NoOfRows = numel(tmp)/4;

CSV_ColData = csvread(CSV_FileName, 00 , ColNum, [00, ColNum, NoOfRows, ColNum]);

Hi,

I believe the behavior (although bizarre) is correct. In Matlab, if you have an array with multiple types, the smallest type dominates the resulting array (so an array with a single entry that is uint8 will be all uint8 type). FreeMat uses the same so as to not break existing Matlab codes.
