I need to remove accents from strings, is there a Delphi (2009+) function for this?
I want that my string contains only A-Z a-z 0-9 chars, so I want to remove accents automatically
Like:
RemoveAccents(àèÃÜÿñ)
that gives
aeAUyn
etc....

What Delphi version are you using? – Mason Wheeler Jun 21 '10 at 13:13

I updated the question Delphi 2009, unicode. – UnDiUdin Jun 21 '10 at 13:17

2Yes it is a duplicate, anyway I think it makes sense to leave this because the question is easy to find. I searched before posting but in my search conditions I searched for "removing accents" not for "convert chars to ascii equivalents"... – UnDiUdin Jun 21 '10 at 15:58

@Jeroen. I would agree to leave it for search purposes, even if it seems like a duplicate. (and it directly points to the same answer anyway) – Francesca Jun 21 '10 at 18:23

@François: Maybe we can merge this question e two questions into the first one. Then people searching can get the bigger picture? – Jeroen Wiert Pluimers Jun 22 '10 at 06:42

Yes sure, I don't have rights for doing this. it would be the best "refactoring". Just add "removing accents from a string" in the original question. – UnDiUdin Jun 22 '10 at 07:34
