convert special characters to english characters hello!
I currently work with turkish text and I need an automatic way to convert all special turkish characters into their corresponding english/latin characters because I often work with other than english languages that have special characters, I need a way to convert them to their english/latin character analogue but for now, a solution for turkish? thanks! |

Re: convert special characters to english characters Hi,
I guess it could be done by macro: - start "record macro", - replace one special character to the corresponding latin character (replace all) - stop record - "edit" the macro recored, copy all code generated by emeditor and paste it else where. - repeat the procedure above with each special character you want to replace, except append the generated macro code to the first one. - save the cumulated code to a single macro, put it in toolbar or asign it a short-cut key. Best regards! |

Re: convert special characters to english characters Hi user,
As ToadLoadin mentioned, you can use a macro to do this. Also, you can use the Batch Replace feature of EmEditor Professional 11 to do this task easily. http://www.emeditor.com/modules/feature1/rewrite/tc_39.html#batch_replace Thanks!

Re: convert special characters to english characters thanks, I will try macro, but I am interested in batch replace too
however, is it possible to save a specific batch and run it by clicking a button in the toolbar? |

Re: convert special characters to english characters Hi user,
Unfortunately, it is not easy to create a button from a batch you create from the Batch Replace feature. I might think about exporting as a macro from the Batch Replace dialog in future versions. Thanks!

Re: convert special characters to english characters Hello,
You could actually record a macro while doing the batch replace. The actual script will look like: Thanks,

Re: convert special characters to english characters it seems to work very well, thanks!
but how do I specify the case-sensitive action? |

Re: convert special characters to english characters I guess while recording the macro, if you turned case sensitive on, it will also be recored into the macro code.

Re: convert special characters to english characters Hi all,
1) What command should be used for removing a character? 2) How to replace double (or more) empty lines with a single empty line? Thank you! |
