Textscan can't read letters with acents

Hi I am trying to read a csv file of names which include some names with accented letters such as the lower case version of "Á" (can't find a lower case a with an accent on my keyboard). Textscan just ignores the character. Any ideas how we can read these characters with text?

Can you post an example of your cvs file? textscan has no problem if I build a string with such a character.

A .CSV file is an ASCII file without character set encoding information. You might need to experiment with different encodings to stumble upon the one the file was created with.
