Reading xls with special characters.

I want to read an excel sheet what contains texts and numbers, but in the texts there are some special character like: ø

Matlab can't handle that characters during reading that sheet but I really need the original texts (I want to write those in an other txt file).

Is there any solution for this problem? Thanks

Sounds like you need to change Matlab's character encoding.

help slCharacterEncoding

You probably need to set is as:

%'ISO-8859-1'
selCharacterEncoding('ISO-8859-1')
