What is this CFANS2UT8 application ?
CFANS2UT8 converts ANSI plain text files to UT8 Format.
Designed preliminary for programmers needs.
Default file extensions are : .PRG, .FMG, .TXT.
Beware :
- CFANS2UT8 does make a backup copy with an user-prefix (standard "ANSI_" + original name) : Fill in "Rename prefix"
However it is adviced to backup your files before running CFANS2UT8.
- You can select an entire folder and exclude some files by double clicking on it's name
or you can select multiple files from one folder.
- CFANS2UT8 converts ANSI functions to UNICODE functions -> LEN to HMG_LEN,... : Check/uncheck "Convert ANSI functions"
- Statistics in HTML output : Check/uncheck "Log Statistics"
- Conversion Report in HTML output : Check/uncheck "Log Converted Lines"
- CFANS2UT8 saves converted files to ANSI or UTF8 format : Check/uncheck "SAVE as UTF8"
- You can convert files as many times as you need, without losing the right format.
- Original formatting/indenting is preserved.
- Check your codepage ID.
Notes :
- Large volumes of files to be converted can take up to +/-5 minutes for +/- 250Kb for +/- 12 PRG files
- Don't forget to put following statements in your converted PRG files:
REQUEST HB_LANG_....
REQUEST HB_CODEPAGE_...
SET LANGUAGE TO ....
Example for Portuguese:
------------------------
REQUEST HB_LANG_PT
REQUEST HB_CODEPAGE_PT850
