What is ANSI code?

Hi All,

How i can save text file by ASCII code from encoding option, this when i save a text file.

thanks

ASCII stands for 7-bit encoding, with english only charset. All 8bit encodings are equivalent to ascci, as long as you don't use advanced characters (with code larger than 0x7f). To convert text ASCII you can:
1) use GNU recode (non-ascii symbols will be lost, I think)
2) use links browser configured to use 7-bit ascii charset. In this case text will be transliterated.
3) Use any 8-bit encoding and avoid non-english characters from beginning. Or save text as any 8bit encoding (except utf8) then write script that removes all letters with code larger than 0x7f.
4) You text editor might allow to select ascii encoding when you save file.

Are you creating/saving the text file using some program (if so what programming language are you using?) or some text editing software (like TextPad or NotePad?)

hi Nejad,

I think I had an issue like this and I used the hexeditor and it worked. I am not sure it was ASCII but there were a lot of weird characters :)


Hope this helps
