[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57107] regexp functions fail on ISO-8859-1 input

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #26, bug #57107 (project octave):

@ comment #20:
textread.m invokes strread.m.
strread.m does a lot of byte counting behind the scenes, so I'm not surprised
if it breaks. But it can also be that it's actually regexp() or regexprep()
that broke; I use a pimped version of strread.m that can handle cuddling
literals (textscan can't) and that version broke several months ago after some
UTF8(?) fixes in core - and that problem is actually with some otherwise
validly looking regexp calls. I still want to isolate those regexp calls and
report them in the bug tracker.

I can look at what the patch in comment #20 does to strread.m (in the past I
did a lot of work on strread.m) but it is considered legacy.
