[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57304] Error message for non-UTF-8 encoded *.m files

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #57304 (project octave):

The following works for me with Octave 5.1:

regexp (native2unicode (uint8 (fileread ("angstrom.m")), "iso-8859-1"),
"Hello")


I hope this still works in Octave 6.

The crucial part might be this sentence in the documentation of
native2unicode:
> If native_bytes is a string vector, it is returned as is.


With Octave 6, it should also be possible to specify the encoding when opening
the file. But I can't try at the moment:

fid = fopen ("angstrom.m", "r", "n", "iso-8859-1");
regexp (char (fread (fid).'), "Hello")
fclose (fid);
