[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49222] octave-io 2.4.3: xls2oct with "OCT" interface lost the ability to read german umlauts or °

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #49222 (project octave):

Philip,

attached is a patch which adds the conversion in both directions.
I only added the conversion for xls2oct and oct2xls because I am not sure
which file formats would actually need it. But it should be pretty straight
forward to add it for *.ods as well.

I also don't know whether it is a good idea to unconditionally decode from
UTF-8. Is it possible that the source file uses a different codepage?

(file #38716)
