Replace string

[IxiRancid]

I know about regex.Replace, but is there any way to convert "weird" characters (alfabetic) to plain ISO (english) characters.

 

example: VIDOVI� = VIDOVIC

�AVAR = I don't have a clue what this is :-\

 

Perhaps I should get the code tables used for those characters and convert them?

 

Thanks!

I'm kind of confused about what you are trying to accomplish but I would think the best thing to do would be to create some kind of a lookup table as you kind of thought of doing in the first place. The best, I think, would be to look up the unicode/ascii value of each character in a string and substitute it with the desired value.

 

In the example above you would cycle through VIDOVI� character by character and come up with V, I, D, O, V, I, C, "" (at least I assume the � turned into a null string).

Well, I solved it with string.replace... I made a replace for all my weird charactes, and that's it. I just run every string throught these string.replace statements, and that's it.

I actually thought it would take longer, but there is almost no difference.

 

Thanks anyway!
