Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Search and replace from file in awk using a 16 bit text file Post 302769716 by gimley on Wednesday 13th of February 2013 07:22:54 AM

Hello,
The mapper is the file in which the conversion rules are given. The character on the left hand side is the input and the one on the right hand side is the output.
The file on which the search and replace operation is to be carried out is given as the input.
I cannot provide output since the script does not work. Basically each 8 bit character should be mapped to a corresponding Unicode character and the output should be Unicode.
I have tried again and I get the same results. It spews out the input file as such.
Many thanks for replying.

NAME
psfxtable - handle Unicode character tables for console fonts SYNOPSIS
psfxtable [-i infont] [-o outfont] [-it intable] [-ot outtable] [-nt] DESCRIPTION
psfxtable handles the embedded Unicode character table for .psf format console fonts. It reads a font and possibly a table and writes a font and/or a table. psfaddtable(1), psfgettable(1) and psfstriptable(1) are links to it. Each of the filenames infont, outfont, intable, and outtable may be replaced by a single dash (-), in which case standard input or standard output is used. If no -i option is given, the font is read from standard input. If no -it or -o or -ot option is given, no input table is read or no output font or output table is written. By default the output font (if any) will have a Unicode table when either the input font has one, or an explicit table (which overrides an input font table) has been provided. The option -nt causes output of a font without table. When outfont is requested it will get a psf1 header when infont has a psf1 header and intable does not have sequences and a psf2 header otherwise. SEE ALSO
