Hello Eugene,

Of course your script should look different since you are converting
to CP866 and should take care of the characters not present in CP866. Maybe someting like:

The below script BTW, is a real life script that I use to generate the ASCII version of my segment of the nodelist. Scroll down...

s/©/(C)/g
s/®/(R)/g
s/ü/u/g
s/ø/o/g
s/ö/o/g
s/ä/a/g
s/ë/e/g
s/é/e/g
s/è/e/g
s/ij/ij/g
s/IJ/IJ/g
s/æ/ae/g
s/ß/ss/g
s/µ/micro/g
s/Ï€/pi/g
s/Π/Pi/g
s/²/^2/g
s/³/^3/g
s/Æ’/f/g
s/£/GPB/g
s/Â¥/Yen/g
s/€/EUR/g
s/”/o/g
s/ö/o/g
s/ /_/g

When I make changes to my segment of the nodelist, I make the changes in the UTF-8 version only. I then run the script above to make an "ascified" version from it. That way I make sure that the UTF-8 version and the ASCII version are always synchronised.

I don't trust myself to not make errors when having to make the same changes to two files. ;-)


Cheers, Michiel

[..]

s/Ô/o/g
s/ö/o/g

I was asked to present the script with hex values for "funny characters", but that is too much work and too error prone. I have to do that manually.

Instead I have made the script available for download and viewing.

If your browser supports UTF-8 (I don't know one that doesn't) you can see the script as I created it with winvi.

Oh, wait... you were actually displaying a capital A with ring, an a umlaut and an o umlaut. Now it makes sense. ;-)

Nope, but it is not very configurable.

So you could ask the author to display '4' instead of '2' in the case ou UTF-8?

I am not linked to that echo and have no interest in linking. It is not on Ozmosis either, so I can't read it..

So what did he say?
