[sajjad]

The problem can be solved using the following command: slCharacterEncoding('UTF-8') the above command will change the character set encoding to be compatible with persian or arabic language.

That will work for some versions of MATLAB on some operating systems, but it did not working in 2012 when the question was originally asked, if I recall correctly.

Please start with the previous discussion at http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/6347-arabic-document . You will need to expand the comments there.

Answer 2

[ali ganjbakhsh]

this might be worked:

fid=fopen('test.txt','rt');

    ans=native2unicode(fread(fid,'*uint8'),'UTF-8') .';
    ans=textscan(ans,'%s','delimiter',sprintf('\f'));

[Walter Roberson]

That would have to do with reading a file that has been encoded as uint8, and would not solve displaying Persian.

You should make sure to fclose(fid)
