Description

The idea of this proposal is to be able to use localized implementation of Scilab string function. The ICU libraries provide features which is available using locales whereas the current Scilab functions only works on US/ASCII characters.

Upgraded Scilab function

• convstr - using Transliterator("Lower") or Transliterator("Upper")

• regexp - Use RegexMatcher

• grep - Use RegexMatcher

• ...
