[Solved] Replace Unicode characters with ANSI

[w64bit]

Is there any command to use in order to replace Unicode characters with ANSI (file and folder names)?

For a single character (or to replace sets, one at a time), F2 (Replace).

Select your files/directories
F2
Regex (enable)

Code: Select all

Old:  ȋ
New:  i

That will replace the first instance of ȋ with i.


There is a way to replace all instances of a character too... (once I remember, or find it ).
Well, this works, but is different from what I've forgotten from before:

Code: Select all

Old:  ȋ+
New:  i

Everything 1.5.0.1282a adds a #remove-diacritics: preprocessor search function to remove diacritics from the specified text.

They won't be replaced with ANSI (33-255) but instead ASCII (33-127).

Select your files/directories
F2
Regex (enable)

Code: Select all

Old: ȋ
New: i

That will replace the first instance of ȋ with i.

Enabling regex will replace all occurrences of old format with the new format.
(Disabling regex will replace only the first occurrence)

Select your files/directories
F2
Regex (enable)

Old: ȋ
New: i


-or-


Select your files/directories
F2
Regex (disable)

Old: %1
New: #remove-diacritics:<%1>
New: <remove-diacritics:%1>
(removes all diacritics, not just ȋ->i and also normalizes the text: æ->ae)

Sure enough.
Wonder what I was seeing at the time...?

Thank you all very much.

Tried #remove-diacritics:<%1> on some mp3 files and i receive message:
"filename is invalid or too long"

Please try the following syntax:

<remove-diacritics:%1>
