Hi There,

First at all, thanks a lot for the powerful tool.

Is there any possibility to run an own script for re-encoding the text?

What I am trying to do is converting the DSF tags from traditional Chinese to simplified Chinese (both in UTF8). I am using cconv (https://github.com/xiaoyjy/cconv) to convert any text file or passing any converted strings to other command tools like metaflac:

$ cat file.txt | cconv -f UTF8-HK -t UTF8-CN
$ cconv -f UTF8-HK -t UTF8-CN -o output.txt file.txt

$ metaflac --export-tags-to=- file.flac |cconv -f UTF8-HK -t UTF8-CN | metaflac --remove-all-tags --import-tags-from=- file.flac

The above works fine. I found the definition for “new action” in Yate (Action Groups -> Text -> Re-encode) but there is no possibility to convert traditional Chinese to simplified Chinese. How can I perform the convertion similar as the above commands with cconv using Yate's action?

Best regards

That sounds excellent.

Sure, I can send you the compiled version which I retreived via "brew install cconv". Please let me know how to send you, by email or upload somewehre?

Best

Just sent the email to you. Have to use another email account since Gmail does not allow me to send zipped file...

I just had a quick look and it seems to be easy. We can use the Export function in Yate to produce a plist of all tags. I'll then run that file through cconv and then re-import the tags from the output file.

I'm basing this entirely on the following sample on GitHub using you're settings:

echo "美发现号航天飞机, 上头发奖金；头发应该剪了，后天，皇后" | cconv -f utf-8 -t utf8-tw
美發現號航天飛機, 上頭發獎金；頭髮應該剪了，後天，皇后

I'll create the action and post it.

That's what I'm hoping for. Can you please post two snippets I can paste into a comment field. One for the UTF8-H data and one for the UTF8-CN result.
