VBScript : Convert text : "ASCII Codes" to "ISO 8859-1 Characters"

Hi there,

The purpose of this script is to convert some characters within a text file.

The problem here is, for example, once it converted &H88 to &HEA, it will reconvert the same character from &HEA to &HDB.

I need this script to convert a character only once.

(I was wondering if the use of a "regular expression" would be the answer.)

Please provide full code.
 
Thanks for your help,
Rene

 

Dim Mystring,MyFile
MyFile=WScript.Arguments(0)

'get file in string
Mystring=Getfile(MyFile)

MyString=replace(MyString,chr(&HB7),chr(&HC0))
MyString=replace(MyString,chr(&H85),chr(&HE0))
MyString=replace(MyString,chr(&HB6),chr(&HC2))
MyString=replace(MyString,chr(&H83),chr(&HE2))
MyString=replace(MyString,chr(&H92),chr(&HC6))
MyString=replace(MyString,chr(&H91),chr(&HE6))
MyString=replace(MyString,chr(&H80),chr(&HC7))
MyString=replace(MyString,chr(&H87),chr(&HE7))
MyString=replace(MyString,chr(&HD4),chr(&HC8))
MyString=replace(MyString,chr(&H8A),chr(&HE8))
MyString=replace(MyString,chr(&H90),chr(&HC9))
MyString=replace(MyString,chr(&H82),chr(&HE9))
