[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #64139] fileread doesn't support 'encoding' argument

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #64139 (project octave):


> As for adding the 'encoding' argument for fileread: is it a matter of
passing the argument to the fopen call or am I still being confused?

That would probably be it.

I was looking at Matlab's online documentation for that function:
https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/fileread.html

text = fileread(filename,Encoding=encoding)

I don't know if it is possible to implement that in a way that would be Matlab
compatible. Afaict, Octave doesn't support that kind of syntax (yet).
