I regularly have to edit textfiles encoded in ASCII-437. Rather than going through the tedious “Text - choose encoding” procedure I would like to open such files from the command line, so I can embed the command into a script. As suggested in help I tried the switch --infilter=“Text (encoded):Western Europe (DOS/OS2-437/US)” but without success. What can I do?
Try it similar to this after the path and call of soffice.exe
--infilter="Text (encoded):IBM_437,CRLF,," -o "C:\Users\pppregin\Desktop\EncodedText.txt"
The encodings are listed in http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sw/source/filter/basflt/fltini.cxx#GetCharSetNameMap
The line ends are LF for Linux, CR for MacOS and CRLF for Windows. The parameters missing in my example are for the font name and the language. I have not tried their syntax.
Herzlichen Dank, Regina, dein Tipp funktioniert einwandfrei, auch mit code pages 850 und 1250. Was bedeuten die beiden Kommata nach CRLF, sind weitere Optionen möglich?
