ISO-8859-1 to UTF 8

Former Member — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 13:29:56 GMT

Hi Forum,

Is there a way in xMII to convert ISO-8859-1 string to UTF-8 equivalent ?

For example, "ä" to "Ã¤" .

Thanks,

Srini.

Hi Srini,

"Write File" action block in MII 12.0 always write character of "UTF-8".If you want to convert ISO-8859-1 string to UTF-8 equivalent, you create a custom action block to perform the function you desire.The document how to create a custom action block is available in SDN.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks,

Manisha

Hi Manisha,

I was skeptic about using custom action block. But to my surprise, it worked very well without any major hiccups.

Thanks a lot,

Srini.
