19 ## Returns run-length encoded @var{message}. The
20 ## rle form is built from @var{message}. The original @var{message}
21 ## has to be in the form of a row-vector. The encoded @var{message}
22 ## format (encoded RLE) is like [repetition factor]+, values.
24 ## An example use of @code{rleenco} is
27 ## message=[ 5 4 4 1 1 1]
28 ## rleenco(message) #gives
29 ## ans = [1 5 2 4 3 1];
