I am trying to write a small sed script to change tex coding \'a to just á, since it is much simpler to write it like that, using latin1 etc. But it is not working. I wonder if someone can point the right way, or may be someone has a piece of code that would do the work for all tex \ss, \"u and so forth I imagine many of the non-english tex users at some point have done that before.
Here goes the piece of code that I am trying to write: (sorry for the long line, but I am not sure how sed would look at the filling of lines done by emacs, probably would not like it) ********** code ********* #!/bin/bash #Trying with sed: #To change \'a into á and so forth echo "File name to process please:" read archivo cp $archivo $archivo-copia sed -e 's/\\'a/á/g' -e 's/\\'e/é/g' -e 's/\\'{\\i}/í/g' -e 's/\\'o/ó/g' -e 's/\\'u/ú/g' -e 's/\\'A/Á/g' -e 's/\\'E/É/g' -e 's/\\'{\\I}/Í/g' -e 's/\\'O/Ó/g' -e 's/\\'U/Ú/g' -e 's/\\~n/ñ/g' -e 's/\\~N/Ñ/g' -e 's/\\"u/ü/g' -e 's/\\"U/Ü/g' -e 's/?`/¿/g' -e 's/!`/¡/g' $archivo-copia > $archivo-out rm $archivo-copia exit 0 ******** end of code ******************* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
