encoding problem with mputl

[philippe]

Hi every body,

I use mputl to write strings in a text file. The file generated by
mputl has encoding UTF-8, whereas I prefer ISO-8859-1 encoding. See
example below (with scilab 5.1.1 on windows XP):

-->str='texte accentu�'
str =

texte accentu�

-->mputl(str,'temp.txt')
ans =

T

-->unix_w('file temp.txt')
temp.txt: UTF-8 Unicode text, with CRLF line terminators

I now that i can change encoding using the command

unix('iconv -f UTF-8 -t ISO-8859-1 temp.txt>templantin1.txt')

but I would prefer to avoid this additional command.

Philippe.
