[squeak-dev] a diacritics free version of a string

Hi there,
I have a string that will eventually contain diacritics and, at some point, I
need to work with a diacritics free version of that string.
Anybody knows what can I use in squeak for that?
thanks
sebastian

AFAIK you can't do it in Squeak. At least not if you want full unicode.

ah, thanks for the info.
And, in case it can be enough for the moment, what would be the poor's man version of this goal?

Build the map of characters with diacritics to ones without "by hand".

The Unicode solution would be to do normalization with full
decomposition and then a regex on \p{InCombiningDiacriticalMarks} and
replace it with an empty string or something similar.

great. Maybe not completely universal but for now this is wonderful. It covers my current need.

thanks one more time Hernan,
