converting to html entities
hi,
here is what i want to do: covert words/characters to html entities i.e. email = emal and also a webpage or file (which is encoded in HTML not text)..... is there a program out there that does this, so u don't have to do it manually?
what i want to do is type in a word or point to a URL or file and have the program automatically convert for me.
if no program is availabe, maybe i can make a perl script (though i'm still learning perl/cgi) and submit it via a form and have the script do it for me...
well, any help appreciated. thanks.

hey, i think this may be what i'm looking for! BUT i don't know how to use it or make it work. i downloaded omnimark and the unimap.zip from the site... i just dunno how to start converting...

unimap.xin is the library that has all the functions needed for conversion. I haven't worked with it just yet, but by briefly looking at it I would say you need to use get-unicode-values function. Let me play with this library a little, and I will post you a code that you can use for conversion later today.

OK, sorry it took me longer than I anticipated, but here it is. The script below converts the file that has character entities into HTML entities example: "some … ˜ data & more …" into:
some … ˜ data & more …
place the code below in to a file: converter.xom
--------------------------
cross-translate
include "unimap.xin"
find "&" ((LOOKAHEAD NOT WORD-END)ANY)+ => temp ";"
local counter tester
local counter unicode-values variable initial-size 0
set tester to get-unicode-values for "%x(temp)" into unicode-values
output "&#%d(unicode-values);"
find any=>tmp
output "%x(tmp)"
To execute, from the command line type:
omnimark -s converter.xom input.file -of output.file -l log.file
where:
input.file - your original file
output.file - converted file
log.file - log of any omnimark messages (shouldn't be any)
--------------------------
P.S. I understand that this not 100%what you were asking, but this script could be modified to do what you are asking for by:
1) locate the following string in the begining of unimap.xin
global counter unicode-entities variable initial {
"57928" with key "angzarr",
...
add the unicode values to the ascii characters in the same manner:
"101" with key "e",
....
2) locate the following rule in convert.xom:
find any=>tmp
output "%x(tmp)"
you would need to replace it with
find any=>tmp
local counter tester
local counter unicode-values variable initial-size 0
set tester to get-unicode-values for "%x(tmp)" into unicode-values
output "&#%d(unicode-values);"

I forgot to mention that the the way the scrips are set-up right now, they all need to be in the same directory (input.file, converter.xom, unimap.xin)

Thanks a million! I greatly appreciate all your help! Thanks again.
