Sed accent
Hi everyone !

I'd like to write a unix command for correcting all european accent errors in a document (spanish, german, french, danisch, etc )!

i need to do this for correcting my document :

sed -e 's/%2B/\ /g' -e 's/%25C9/É/g' doc1 > doc2

The first command is ok and change "%2B" into space
The second command don't work
i wanted to change "%25C9" into É Smilie

instead of "É" if have "√â" Smilie
i tried the command "recode" but it doesn't work...

In advance, thanks for your help Smilie

Have you looked at the tr(1) command? It is probably bettered suited to what you want to do. I assume you are in a European locale such as ISO 8859-15 so you can see the corrected text.

I think you're God !!!!!! Smilie
I am near the answer with your help, thanks

with the command :
tr "%25C9" "É"

the word change in : ÉÉÉÉÉthylometre
instead of : Éthylometre

how can i say that "%25C9" is just one word and not 5 differents words ??

My file is automaticaly generated by a cron, there is no charset i think

I think the error is due to a double encode
i try this :

PHP Code:
php -r '$t=file_get_contents("myfile.txt");echo utf8_encode(urldecode(urldecode($t)));' 
it works in 'head' but not in the entire document :

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 70106908 bytes) in Command line code on line 1... Smilie
