Component to replace accented characters in a string

I don't know of a component like that, but it is really
easy to do yourself. First, the String.Replace function is
unicode based so it's quite easy to use extended and
standard characters interchangeably .

What I would recommend is to create an object that holds
the basic character and extended character in unicode (use
this as a map for conversion) and then create a shared
method on the object that ran the replace command and
replaced one with the other.

Hi,

I'm looking for a .net (or COM) component which can replace all accentedcharacters in a Unicode string by their non-accented equivalent.
ie: "café" would be transformed to "cafe"

Thanks for any information which will help me in this task.

I'm using the php 'file' command to read the contents of an ASCII text file to a variable. The original text file contains some accented and special characters. The problem arises when I echo this variable: the accented characters are messed up. And not only accented characters, for example, the special characters ª is printed as ª. What can I do to correct this issue? I have tried, without success, to use the 'setlocale' command. TIA,

I've written an anagram finder that produces anagrams from a dictionary of words. The user can load their own dictionary. ( http://www.voidspace.org.uk/atlantibots/nanagram.html ) In order to ensure it is able to find anagrams properly I wanted to strip characters like punctuation etc from words in the dictionary and words the user entered. I test(ed) against the 26 English letters ( string.ascii_lowercase ).

I have encountered a problem when certain European characters are included in the Querystring of an URL. If I have a URL like: ?param=AAà On the receiving page a simple Request() call returns "AA" and not "AAà". It drops all accented characters! If I change to use a Form instead, it works OK.

Hi Gurus, Please help me in this, I have tried all options available to me. (Option 1) I am making a simple request from VB.NET client to WBI generated WSDL and passing request parameters. The response I am expecting should have some accented characters (Customer Name: Lokalcenter Åbygård), but this gets truncated and response is as follows (Customer Name: Lokalcenter bygrd). The WSDL has utf-8 character set defined.
