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'); : Chï¿½rlï¿½nï¿½ Kirstï¿½n Mï¿½mï¿½ Rï¿½tlï¿½di Koos Nï¿½l Pï¿½sï¿½kï¿½ Modisï¿½ Jï¿½rï¿½miï¿½h Morï¿½mi Khï¿½thiwï¿½ Buthï¿½lï¿½zi Tiï¿½nï¿½ Pillï¿½y Viviï¿½n Mï¿½swï¿½ngï¿½nyï¿½ Thirï¿½shï¿½n Rï¿½ddy Wï¿½dï¿½ Cornï¿½lius ï¿½nos Nï¿½tshimbupfï¿½ With my code the symbol will be removed completely
