I have a strange Problem with writing umlauts like (ä, ü) to a file, which has an ISO-8859-1 Encoding.
My Shell-script is reading a file. The Encoding differs. Sometimes US-ASCII, UTF-8, ISO-8859-1. Then a I have to replace all "{" with a "ä".
I am reading the file line by line and do it with a sed on each line. Then I write the corrected line with an echo to a new file.
When the file is ready, within the hex Editor I can see, that the "ä" is represented as a "c3 a4" - thats an UTF-8 Encoding. What I Need is an ISO-8859 Encoding - a "e4".
Thats my code:
My env-variables are as follows:
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
Is it possible to force to write an ISO-8859-1 encoded file?
How do you would handle the various encoded files for reading? Should I convert them first with "iconv" to ISO-8859-1?
Did you consider using the iconv tool to convert the files between all the encodings?
And, provided a program was compiled "locale-aware", you can force it to work e.g. in the C locale by setting the LC_ALL variable for just this single run:
Why don't you rephrase your problem, then, so other members / searchers can understand it, and, en plus, post your solution so people can benefit from it?
