I will be reading a file (file_in) with name & address and a word that I may need to convert. Running unix on a pc, this would be easy. But on my Solaris I am not getting the desired results.
If my file_in contains:
Code:
Joe|Smith|123 Main Street|E|Vehicle
Nicky|Dufour|1 Ste. Catherines|F|Vehicle
and my
conversion file is:
Code:
E|Vehicle|Vehicle
F|Vehicle|Véhicule
and I want to create:
Code:
Joe|Smith|123 Main Street|E|Vehicle
Nicky|Dufour|1 Ste. Catherines|F|Véhicule
which after a whole bunch more programming is ftp'd to my pc network for printing.
I know how to figure this out with awk, etc.. My problem is when I ftp that conversion file to my unix, I end up with wrong characters. In fact, I end up with something like "V\202\hicle" when I vi the file. (Which is correct since the 202 in octal is the e with accent.)
But, this \202 representation garbles during processing and I end up with strange data at the end.
So, I am looking for tricks or hints for my Solaris unix (bash or ksh) to deal with extended characters.
Thanks in advance.

Before I start I set:
export LC_ALL=C
