[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57341] iso-8859-1 encoding triggers error in get_first_help_sentence.m

[Juan Pablo Carbajal]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #57341 (project octave):

oh, I see actually that this is what you patch is trying to do. Why then you
do not get the symbols right?

If I change the encoding of the file using iconv the symbols appear just fine,
check the attached file, which is

foo_iso_8859_1.m

converted to uft-8 using


iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8//TRANSLIT foo_iso_8859_1.m  > foo_conv.m


I get then


> help foo_conv
warning: function name 'foo_iso_8859_1' does not agree with function filename
'/home/juanpi/Downloads/foo_conv.m'
warning: called from
    help at line 95 column 20
'foo_conv' is a function from the file /home/juanpi/Downloads/foo_conv.m

 This characters will trigger the error: ü ° ±
