EniG. Change Code Page is a small, fast and useful program for windows 9x/NT/2000/XP who's primary role is converting web pages writen in any tool in MS Windows (cp-1250) in to iso 8859-2 or UTF-8 standard.

Conversion of *.html documents from MS windows CP-1250 to ISO 8859-2 code system can be done:

• in only one file - it is enough to click on the file twice
• in a marked group of files - you can select which files will be used with SHIFT and CTRL
• in a marked group of files - you can select which files will be used with SHIFT and CTRL using a preset mask - in all of the files that meet the given criteria, eg. a*.html for all HTML files that begin with the letter 'a', in the current directory or in any of it's subdirectories, in other words the whole web site.

Change Code Page n pure text files (.html, .txt) can:

• convert Croatian letters between diferent coding systems
• convert any coding system
• do the ussual but fast Search & Replace
• remove all HTML tags from a file, leaving only pure text

automaticaly in all files that meet the given criteria (mask).

If you want to use the regular Search & Replace it is enough to click in the top right corner of the screen.

New, faster, better routines for searching and replacing have been written. Each letter of the Special letter group must be put separately in the ccp.cft file. There can only be 32000 letters in one set. ESC key terminates the process.

USE

• The teoretical limit of the file you can work with is 2 GB.
• There are two groups of Special letters which allow the user to define the two groups of letters according to their own needs such as lenght and number of letters in a set.
• You can replace groups with different number of letters, eg. a group of 10 Croatian letters with a group of 7 personaly defined letters. The letters that don't have a pair will be replaced with s "", in other words they will be chosen from the text. On the other hand, if you replace a group with 7 letters with a group with 10 letters, the last 3 letters will be ignored.
• The program can generate ccp.log files which contain data about all of the files and changes made in them. Each time you turn the program on, it deletes the old log file. Generation of the ccp.log file can be turned on/off in the configuration file (ccp.cfg).

The program window is devided in to 3 parts: the left part of the window is used for choosing a file or directory in which you will make a change the top right part of the window is used for choosing coding systems (from old to new) the bottom right part of the window is used for replacing one sample of text with an other

• CP-1250 - use MS windows to see Croatian letters
• ISO 8859-2 - is recomended for Croatian Web space
• CP-852 - use IBM/MS-DOS from 1990
• CROSCII - is the old standard that replaced some letters from the ASCII table with Croatian letters. It is also known as CP-999
• BEZKVAKI - Croatian letters will be transformed into pure ASCII
• SYMBOLIC HTML TAGS - some editors save Croatian letters as symbolic HTML tags. This table is equal to CP-1250 and is saved in this format in Word when you give the "save as HTML" command.
• MS WORD 2000 SYMBOLIC - MS Word 2000 sprema dio naših grafema kao "Symbolic HTML tags" kad mu se dade "Save as HTML". Tablica symbolic html tagova ugrađena u ccp odgovara CP-1252.
• UNICODE - Croatian graphems under Unicode standard. The table of symbolic html tags integrated in the ccp is UTF-8.
• SPECIAL LETTER GROUPS - you can enter any group of letters trough the configuration file. Define the names of the 2 separate sets of letters and letters they contain in the ccp.cfg file. Left from the equality sign is the first set of letters and right from the equality sign is the second. Don't put space before and after the equasion sign because it is considered a letter. Rows that have NE MIJENJATI OVAJ RED(DO NOT CHANGE THIS LINE) warning shouldn't be touched because the program works trough them. Definitions begin right after that line, without a space. By leaving out the equasion sign you can define only one special letter group.

After you define the two special letter groups in the ccp.cfg file they are added to the list and in the menu of the "old" and "new" code page as:

• SPECIAL 1 - user defined "letters"
• SPECIAL 2 - user defined "letters"

Another pair of "letters" ends right after you press ENTER at the end of the line. The longest "letter" I tried had 1400 letters.

So the browser can understand the code page he should use, put a META tag in the caption of the HTML document. The table of standards as seen in Your browser when the META TAG is used: META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=windows-1250"
