Detect Input Formats
TextPipe can detect various Unicode formats, and selectively apply conversions depending on which format it finds.In the example below, TextPipe converts all input files to UTF-8 before doing further processing.
TextPipe can also apply other really cool restrictions, such as only searching and replacing in CSV field 3.
Is My Input File Unicode?
Simply drag the file to TextPipe's File Grid, then right-click it and choose 'Analyze File'.
If the display says 'Unicode Encoding...' then your file is Unicode. There are 3 major formats to Unicode (UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32), and variants on the last two (-LE and -BE variants). Most likely, you'll need TextPipe to convert your file to or from UTF-8 for Web pages, and to or from UTF-16LE for Windows files.
