Hiya All,

I have been looking around on the site here and it seems that you can do some type of conversion for 8 Bit Characters. What I have is an XML file and some of the charters have accents and such, the system we are importing the XML file in to does not handle them all that well (that is being worked on) but in the mean time I would like to easily convert the characters.

Ex: ROGÉRIO would become ROGERIO

Any clue to the best way? I have read some of the post on BOM and 8Bit/16Bit but I am fuzzy on this still.

Thanks,

Best would be to write a macro which does all the replaces. The macro needs the property Continue if a Find with Replace not found.

InsertMode
ColumnModeOff
HexOff
Top
Find MatchCase "É"
Replace All "E"
Find MatchCase "é"
Replace All "e"
Find MatchCase "ê"
Replace All "e"
Find MatchCase "è"
Replace All "e"
and so on

Use View - ASCII Table to get an overview about all characters with accents.
