I found a half automated solution for this. By using the
FindStr command which can only search in UTF-8 encoding because of it's limitation.
If the
FindStr command reads an UTF-16 file, it will see spaces between each character and fails to find the text.
The Batch script works by searching for a text in a file, and if it cannot find the text than it assumes the file is encoded in UTF-16 and it then triggers the /UTF switch.
The best way would be to do it with a Hybrid Batch/jScript by searching for the
Hex codes below. But sadly my JScript coding skills suck.
UTF-16LE BOM, Header hex code = FF FE
UTF-16LE no-BOM, Windows Break Line hex code = 00 0D 00 0A 00 (no-BOM files don't have any header code)
UTF-16LE no-BOM, Linux Break Line hex code = 00 0A 00 (no-BOM files don't have any header code)
Half Automated Batch Solution ->
Replace
/UTF: with
/UTF: /UTFA:"" in the JREPL.bat file.
Add this above the
:: Validate options in the JREPL.bat file.
Code: Select all
:: UTF-16 detection
If Not Defined /F GoTo SKIP
If Not Defined /UTFA GoTo SKIP
For /f "tokens=1 delims=|" %%i in ("%/F%") do (Set "inFile=%%i")
FindStr /l "%/UTFA%" "%inFile%" >NUL 2>&1 || Set "/UTF=1"
:SKIP
Now you can use the /UTFA command switch:
Code: Select all
CALL ".\JREPL.bat" "\[AddReg\]" "[AddReg]\r\nMy Little Pony." /XSEQ /UTFA "[Version]" /F "text.txt" /O "text1.txt"
If the
[Version] text can not be found in the file then the script assumes it's a UTF-16 file and triggers/sets the /UTF switch.
