(DataFlex) Convert a Text File from utf-8 to Windows-1252Convert a text file from one character encoding to another.
Use ChilkatAx-win32.pkg Procedure Test Handle hoSb Boolean iSuccess // It's really simple: Just load from one charset, save using another. Get Create (RefClass(cComChilkatStringBuilder)) To hoSb If (Not(IsComObjectCreated(hoSb))) Begin Send CreateComObject of hoSb End // In this case, my test file has some norwegian chars in the utf-8 encoding Get ComLoadFile Of hoSb "qa_data/txt/norwegian_chars.txt" "utf-8" To iSuccess // We could just as well write over the file we just read in. // (But I don't want to do that for my example..) Get ComWriteFile Of hoSb "qa_output/norwegian_chars.txt" "windows-1252" False To iSuccess // Note: Windows-1252 is a 1-byte per char encoding, which means it's only capable of representing // those chars in Western European languages. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252 // // utf-8 is an encoding that can handle chars in any language, including Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Greek, etc. // If a text file contains chars in these other languages, obviously it cannot be converted to windows-1252 because // there are only 256 chars that can possibly be represented in a 1-byte per char encoding.
