Change MATLAB character set encoding

Hello! Please help with the problem. I must process the text files created by the command line. Command line creates the file in the character set IBM866. I think Matlab understands Cyrillic in cp1251. Is it possible to somehow convert the information read from the files to cp1251 or to make the program work with the encoding IBM866?
slCharacterEncoding ('IBM866') does not help. It only changes the encoding in the console. For example, if I use the contains(stroka_iz_faila_v_ibm866,'russiantext') in my program, it does not find Russian letters in the string. But if I stop the execution of the program and write it in the console contains(stroka_iz_faila_v_ibm866, 'russiantext'), it will find the text in the string (provided I use slCharacterEncoding ('IBM866')).
Similarly, the strfind () function does not work.

Hi,
Maybe this one helps with your problem: feature('DefaultCharacterSet','UTF-8');
Good luck

Specify encoding as the fourth input argument to fopen.
For example:
fopen(filename, 'r', 'n', 'IBM866')
