Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Convert UTF-8 file to ASCII/ISO8859-1 OR replace characters Post 302980631 by RudiC on Wednesday 31st of August 2016 03:22:30 AM

That is a complex specification to read (and understand). If I did - which I don't dare to assert - a solution to replace "extended" characters with "nomal" ones would be
Code:
echo "\"#$%&0@ABab£¥§©ほぼぽま~अ" | LC_ALL=C sed 'p; s/[\xe0-\xef]../X/g; s/[\xc0-\xcf]./Y/g'
"#$%&0@ABab£¥§©ほぼぽま~अ
"#$%&0@ABabYYYYXXXX~X

Here the characters in question are replaced by X or Y, depending on their representation in UTF-8 - replace them by what you want, e.g. spaces or nothing. If you want to translate to EUR, do so BEFORE those substitutions above, but be aware that then your "fixed length" will be lost.
