Hello Kees,

Don't thank me yet. The above will not work properly. To work as intended it
should be:

s/\xC4\xB3/ij/g
s/\xC4\xB2/IJ/g
s/\xE2\x82\xAC/EUR/g

That is what happens when you manually change things like this.

Not unti I find a way to not have to do it manually. Fara too error prone. But
for those interested you can download it here:

And as a special service to you, I dropped it in your inbound.

Never. For demonstration purposes I go against the recomendation of using the
diphtong instead of the concatenated form.


Cheers, Michiel
