accent marks

Post by yusef88 »

Everything 1.5 introduced what it called De-composition searching https://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewto ... ics#decomp
De-composition searching

Searching will match de-composited Unicode characters, for example:
ẞ is the same as ss
æ is the same as ae

Everything will now also ignore Unicode combining characters, for example:
A + ◌̀ is the same as A
Is this a thing can be applicable to XYplorer

I could do that, but not with priority.

But see also Rename Special | Convert to ASCII:

Code: Select all

        IN:   Æß_Øæð_Ðåøþ_Œœƒ_Þäöüß_áéíóú_©.txt
        OUT:  Aess_Oeaedh_Dhaaoeth_Oeoef_Thaeoeuess_aeiou_(c).txt

The big benefit of this will be for non-Latin scripts
Thank you for replying

By the way, do you know of a simple (non-contextual) conversion table between Arabic script and Latin script?

you mean writing Arabic in English letters?
Sorry if I don't quite understand what you mean

Code: Select all

ع=aa
غ=gh
ش=sh
خ=kh
ث=th
ي=e
و=w
ه=h
ن=n
م=m
ل=l
ك=k
ق=k
ف=f
ظ=z
ط=t
ض=d
ص=s
س=s
ز=z
ر=r
ذ=z
د=d
ح=h
ج=g
ت=t
ب=b
ا=a
أ=a
ء=a
ة=t
This table is taken from renamer-7.4 and does not seem to convert the words correctly.

Thanks. I'm aware that it can only be a very rough transcription. When I find the time I will try to add it to File | Rename Special | Convert to ASCII.

For Arabic, what matters is the file search with ignoring accent marks. I don't think anyone would need to use rename option.
