I have an ansi file with 'Ł' character I would like to read this character and save it to another file with the same encoding(to get 'Ł' character).
const fs = require('fs');
var content = fs.readFileSync('input.txt',null); //Ł
fs.writeFileSync('output.txt',content,null); //Ł how to get this?
How to do this with nodejs?
Update: I checked the input file:
file -i
text/plain charset=uknown-8bit
file -r
Non-ISO extended-ASCII, text with very long lines, with CRLF line terminators
Can I save the file with such details?
I achieved what I wanted by creating binary strings out of buffer with the problematic characters:
const fs = require('fs');
function getChar(charId) {
let characters = { AA:165, //Ą
EE:202, //Ę
CC:198, //Ć
LL:163, //Ł
SS:140, //Ś
OO:211, //Ó
ZZ:175, //Ż
ZZZ:143, //Ź
aa:185, //ą
ee:234, //ę
cc:230, //ć
ll:179, //ł
ss:156, //ś
oo:243, //ó
zz:191, //ź
zzz:159 //ź
};
let buf = new Buffer({
type:'Buffer',
data:[ characters[charId] ],
encoding:'ISO-8859-2'
});
return buf.toString('binary')
}
fs.writeFileSync('output.txt',getChar('LL')+" test",'ascii'); //'Ł test'
