i am not sure, but i think it's posible.
Convert Ascii to UTF8 in UNIX itself and process the file.

Thanks for your reply. i tried by converting into UTF8 file, its working fine

.

For the first time itself ,i tried that ISO-8859-1 nls it's not working.

Is there any option to read that file without converting into UTF8 file?

Thanks a lot........

I assume via iconv. No, not that one, this one.

I tried iconv,but it seems not working for me.

Code: Select all

$ cat testa
jhi|hsj hjh |shj uu

Code: Select all

$ iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 <testa > abcde
Not supported iso-8859-1 to utf-8

Code: Select all

$ iconv -f utf-8 -t iso-8859-1 <testa > abcde
Not supported utf-8 to iso-8859-1

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks

My first thought? Man, I wish you'd learn how to use the code tags so I don't "need" to constantly clean them up. Second thought: perhaps I assumed... poorly.
