Is it possible? This is my input string:
ľ š č ť ž ý á í é Č Á Ž Ý
This is the output I want:
l s c t z y a i e C A Z Y
Use java. text. Normalizer to handle this for you. This will separate all of the accent marks from the characters.
We can remove accents from the string by using a Python module called Unidecode. This module consists of a method that takes a Unicode object or string and returns a string without ascents.
replace(/[^a-z0-9]/gi,'') . However a more intuitive solution (at least for the user) would be to replace accented characters with their "plain" equivalent, e.g. turn á , á into a , and ç into c , etc.
if you have http://php.net/manual/en/book.intl.php available, you can use this:
$string = "Fóø Bår"; $transliterator = Transliterator::createFromRules(':: Any-Latin; :: Latin-ASCII; :: NFD; :: [:Nonspacing Mark:] Remove; :: Lower(); :: NFC;', Transliterator::FORWARD); echo $normalized = $transliterator->transliterate($string);
There is a function that Wordpress uses and works nice. Here's the working code with output.
<?php function seems_utf8($str) { $length = strlen($str); for ($i=0; $i < $length; $i++) { $c = ord($str[$i]); if ($c < 0x80) $n = 0; # 0bbbbbbb elseif (($c & 0xE0) == 0xC0) $n=1; # 110bbbbb elseif (($c & 0xF0) == 0xE0) $n=2;
