How remove accents in PowerShell?

As per ip.'s answer, here is the Powershell version.

function Remove-Diacritics {param ([String]$src = [String]::Empty)  $normalized = $src.Normalize( [Text.NormalizationForm]::FormD )  $sb = new-object Text.StringBuilder  $normalized.ToCharArray() | % {     if( [Globalization.CharUnicodeInfo]::GetUnicodeCategory($_) -ne [Globalization.UnicodeCategory]::NonSpacingMark) {      [void]$sb.Append($_)    }  }  $sb.ToString()}# Test data@("Rhône", "Basíl", "Åbo", "", "Gräsäntörmä") | % { Remove-Diacritics $_ }

Output:

Well I can help you with some of the code.....

I used this recently in a c# project to strip from email addresses:

    static string RemoveDiacritics(string input)    {        string inputFormD = (input ?? string.Empty).Normalize(NormalizationForm.FormD);        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();        for (var i = 0; i < inputFormD.Length; i++)        {            UnicodeCategory uc = CharUnicodeInfo.GetUnicodeCategory(inputFormD[i]);            if (uc != UnicodeCategory.NonSpacingMark)            {                sb.Append(inputFormD[i]);            }        }        return (sb.ToString().Normalize(NormalizationForm.FormC));    }

I guess I can now say 'extending into a PowerShell script/form is left to the reader'.... hope it helps....

Another PowerShell translation of @ip for non C# coders ;o)

function Remove-Diacritics {  param ([String]$sToModify = [String]::Empty)  foreach ($s in $sToModify) # Param may be a string or a list of strings  {    if ($sToModify -eq $null) {return [string]::Empty}    $sNormalized = $sToModify.Normalize("FormD")    foreach ($c in [Char[]]$sNormalized)    {      $uCategory = [System.Globalization.CharUnicodeInfo]::GetUnicodeCategory($c)      if ($uCategory -ne "NonSpacingMark") {$res += $c}    }    return $res  }}Clear-Host$name = "Un été de Raphaël"Write-Host (Remove-Diacritics $name )$test = ("äâûê", "éèà", "ùçä")$test | % {Remove-Diacritics $_}Remove-Diacritics $test
