Thread: A few encoding and replacement questions...

Hello there!
This is my first post here on Cprogramming.com . Very nice site by the way.
Anyhow, is there a method in C to convert a .txt document from ANSI encoding to Unicode?
Then after that to take that document and replace x with y?
Also, are the C documents themselves Unicode or something like that, or do I have to manually change to Unicode?

EDIT: Sorry to be asking so many questions, but can you choose the .txt document with an Open dialog?

Thanks!

Well, say that I have alot of text thats written in Polish, but is ALWAYS in ANSI. I can just change to Unicode. So I do that. But in ANSI all the Polish characters ( ś,ć,ę to give a few) turn to (³,œ,æ and so on).
See what I mean? I can just go search and replace for EVERY Polish character, but it takes long and I wanna write this program as a challenge.
SO can I replace œ,æ with ś,ć and so on? I use the GNU Compiler, so I tried :

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    printf ("ąęóśćżłĄĘÓĆŚŻŁ");
}

I also have Notepad++ if it makes a difference.

Code:

int c;
...
while( (c=fgetc( inputfile )) != EOF )
{
    switch( c )
    {
        case 'x': fputc( 'y', outputfile ); break;
        ...
        default: fputc( c, outputfile );
    }
}

Replace 'x' with whatever you're looking for, and 'y' with whatever you're trying to put there instead.

Thanks!
It gives a undeclared variable error, I suppose I have to fill in inputfile and outputfile?
So then how do I choose what text document? So its dynamic, and shows a open dialog?
Also what's with the

. . .

It is pseudo-code. You fill in as many cases as there are for each thing you want to replace. Yes, you need to actually put some thought and work into it (not much actually, but some).
