Remove Letter Accents

[mikakojonkowski]

hi guys anyone got a solution in C that will remove letter accents like here :
http://textmechanic.com/Remove-Letter-Accents.html

example:
żźćóóąžý

I found the following code, added System.Globalization into GAC but errors appear:

Error in action "CS0103" "The name 'UnicodeCategory' does not exist in the current context". [Row: 6; Column: 74]
Error in action "CS0103" "The name 'CharUnicodeInfo' does not exist in the current context". [Row: 6; Column: 33]

As i dont have much idea about C# i am stuck.

var text = (project.Variables["string"].Value);
{
    if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(text))
        return text;

    text = text.Normalize(NormalizationForm.FormD);
    var chars = text.Where(c => CharUnicodeInfo.GetUnicodeCategory(c) != UnicodeCategory.NonSpacingMark).ToArray();
    return new string(chars).Normalize(NormalizationForm.FormC);
}

Hi.
As you are new to c# use more simpler method:

project.Variables["accents"].Value = project.Variables["accents"].Value.Replace("ż", "z");
project.Variables["accents"].Value = project.Variables["accents"].Value.Replace("ź", "z");
project.Variables["accents"].Value = project.Variables["accents"].Value.Replace("ć", "c");
project.Variables["accents"].Value = project.Variables["accents"].Value.Replace("ó", "o");

Just replace all wrong letters with correct letters.
Set in project variable accents your text with wrong letters and it will come out with correct letters in same variable.

Cheers

Thank you but this is not solution i am looking for, this is something i have been using before, its good if you got few characters in one language, but for all accents its not a solution.

Well if you are not new in c# and want to use more advanced codes then all I can suggest is to start to read some books about c# It will help you much.

string text = project.Variables["accents"].Value;
var normalizedString = text.Normalize(NormalizationForm.FormD);
var stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();

foreach (var c in normalizedString)
{
    var unicodeCategory = System.Globalization.CharUnicodeInfo.GetUnicodeCategory(c);
    if (unicodeCategory != System.Globalization.UnicodeCategory.NonSpacingMark)
    {
        stringBuilder.Append(c);
    }
}

return stringBuilder.ToString().Normalize(NormalizationForm.FormC);

Cheers

Working very well, thank you

Edit:

Guys keep in mind some characters are not replaced by this code, for example:

ÂÃÄÀÁÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜÝÞßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöøùúûüýþÿą, ć, ę, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź, ż.

returns;

AAAAAAÆCEEEEIIIIÐNOOOOOØUUUUYÞßaaaaaaæceeeeiiiiðnoooooøuuuuyþya, c, e, ł, n, o, s, z, z.
