ANSI

[Moe1]

Hi,

Im trying to convert utf8 file to ANSI, I used the advanced tab (windows-1252, and ISO-8859-1) both resulted in ?????. Also I used tChangeFileEncoding .. same result.

Hi,

   Could you please try the second approach mentioned in the form?

   You can dd them to a routine or tJavarow based on your uase case.

Hi,

    What is the error you are getting? Could you please share some sample input records and expected output for those input records?

    It will give some idea for us about your use case and we will get something to test.

Thank you, here is an example:

By applying this transformation, the value “Micheal ESKANDAR-CHR/متابعة” should be stored in the text file as: “Micheal ESKANDAR-CHR/ãÊÇÈÚÉ”...

To be noted that we have a code in vb (macro) that do the job but we are dumping it and using Java through ETL process, here is the current function header in vb:

Call UTFToANSI(fileDir + "\" + Filename + ".unicode.txt", "utf-16", fileDir + "\" + Filename + ".txt", "Windows-1256").

To be noted I tried these combinations, utf8, iso-8859-15, cp1252, cp1256 without any success.

Hi,

   When I tried ISO-8859-1 as target encoding, I got below details as output.

The function I used with tJavarow is as below.

output_row.output = new String(input_row.data.getBytes("UTF-8"), "ISO-8859-1");

I was referring below link for conversion. I couldn't check it much as I have to go for a meeting now.

Hopefully the link will help you.

the result should be like this:
“Micheal ESKANDAR-CHR/ãÊÇÈÚÉ”

[Moe1]

I managed to get this output:
"Micheal ESKANDAR-CHR/ãÊÇÈÚÉ"
using iso-8859-15 however if you checked the encoding in notepad or notepad++ it shows it is UTF8 or UTF8 with BOM and not ANSI .. This resulting in an incorrect file encoding error eventhough the characters inside are the desired ones...

Any Talend GURU could help, thanks.
