Re: [NTG-context] Unicode text conversion

16 Jun 2017

      Hello,

thank you for the answers.

So - IMHO the following code should provide CP-1250 to UTF-8 conversion:

----
\enableregime[cp1250]

\startluacode
   local cvt = function(fn)
     print(fn)

     local str = io.loaddata(fn)

--print(str)

     str = regimes.toregime("utf", str, "?")

     io.savedata(fn .. "~", str)
   end

   --

   cvt("_01-Identifikacni-Udaje.mkiv")
\stopluacode
----

But ConTeXt (yesterday's beta) fails with:

----
lua error       > lua error on line 17 in file X://Users/LPr/~/~Asci/Cvt2UTF8.mkiv:

  7         local str = io.loaddata(fn)
  8
  9         str = regimes.toregime("utf", str, "?")
10
11         io.savedata(fn .. "~", str)
12       end
13
14       --
15
16       cvt("_01-Identifikacni-Udaje.mkiv")
17 >>  \stopluacode
----

What's wrong with my code?

Any help would be appreciated.

Best regards,

Lukas

OK, thank you;
I deduce:
regimes.toregime('8859-1',"abcde Ä","?")
means actually:
- "convert from the current regime" (be e.g. UTF8)
- regimes.toregime(<regime-to-convert-to>, <string-to-convert>, )

Hello,
is there also a way to convert CP1250 to UTF8 and vice versa?
regimes.toregime('8859-1',"abcde Ä","?")
there's also fromregime
