I got a file with characters like these: à, è, ì, ò, ù - À. What i need to do is replace those characters with normal characters eg: à = a, è = e and so on..... This is my code so far:
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(@"C:/JoinerOutput.csv");
string path = @"C:/Joiner.csv";
string line = File.ReadAllText(path);
if (line.Contains("à"))
{
string asAscii = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(Encoding.Convert(Encoding.UTF8, Encoding.GetEncoding(Encoding.ASCII.EncodingName, new EncoderReplacementFallback("a"), new DecoderExceptionFallback()), Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(line)));
Console.WriteLine(asAscii);
Console.ReadLine();
sw.WriteLine(asAscii);
sw.Flush();
}
Basically this searches the file for a specific character and replaces it with another. The problem that i am having is that my if statement doesn't work. How do i go about solving this?
This is a sample of the input file:
Dimàkàtso Mokgàlo Màmà Ràtlàdi Koos Nèl Pàsèkà Modisè Jèrèmiàh Morèmi Khèthiwè Buthèlèzi Tiànà Pillày Viviàn Màswàngànyè Thirèshàn Rèddy Wàdè Cornèlius ènos Nètshimbupfè
This is the output if use : line = line.Replace('à', 'a'); :
Ch�rl�n� Kirst�n M�m� R�tl�di Koos N�l P�s�k� Modis� J�r�mi�h Mor�mi Kh�thiw� Buth�l�zi Ti�n� Pill�y Vivi�n M�sw�ng�ny� Thir�sh�n R�ddy W�d� Corn�lius �nos N�tshimbupf�
With my code the symbol will be removed completely
