Replacing a unicode character in UTF-8 file using delphi 2010
- by Jake Snake
I am trying to replace character (decimal value 197) in a UTF-8 file with character (decimal value 65)
I can load the file and put it in a string (may not need to do that though)
SS := TStringStream.Create(ParamStr1, TEncoding.UTF8);
SS.LoadFromFile(ParamStr1);
//S:= SS.DataString;
//ShowMessage(S);
However, how do i replace all 197's with a 65, and save it back out as UTF-8?
SS.SaveToFile(ParamStr2);
SS.Free;
-------------- EDIT ----------------
reader:= TStreamReader.Create(ParamStr1, TEncoding.UTF8);
writer:= TStreamWriter.Create(ParamStr2, False, TEncoding.UTF8);
while not Reader.EndOfStream do
begin
S:= reader.ReadLine;
for I:= 1 to Length(S) do
begin
if Ord(S[I]) = 350 then
begin
Delete(S,I,1);
Insert('A',S,I);
end;
end;
writer.Write(S + #13#10);
end;
writer.Free;
reader.Free;
