I have been asked to add a local firm to my skating FAQ, but they have a name
with several acented characters. Now for the web version that just means
that I subitute an é for the accented e, and all should be well.
(older browsers won't display the name corectly but that is life...)
almost all lines have accented characters like > Marie-Josée <
Now when i convert the FAQ to text, I really have to have only 7 bit ascii to
manage to get the text through the posting server at MIT - so I would want to
convert the accented character to plain.
I assume that the way would be to use sed or something simalar with a funny
comand line to clear the output up. Does anyone know of a automated way, It
would be nice to also zap any trailing spaces and other nasties that cause a
rejection when they result in the mail gateway MIMING the message.(=20)
I am curently relearning the whole FAQ update and posting process after
switching form Windows 3.1 to SuSE 7.3 due to receiving alarming noises from
my old Hard Drive.
