Quick Start

Tutorial - How To Convert Text Files

A text file called demo.txt is installed into Program Folder of Unifier. We will convert this file to Unicode encoding using Unifier in this tutorial.

Procedure

Setup Unifier as the procedure below. A screenshot is attached for reference

1.

Copy the sample file, demo.txt, from Program folder to your own My Documents folder

2.

Drag-and-Drop the file, demo.txt,from My Documents folder to Unifier Source File List

3.

Select Source Encoding to Western (Windows Chars. Set)

4.

Select Unicode Format to Unicode (UTF-16)

5.

Select Output Option to Add a filename prefix to converted files

6.

Enter _unicode_ to the Edit Box

7.

Click Convert button to start Unicode Conversion

Notes About Windows NTFS Security

The Program Files Folder is read only for normal users. Only Administrator has write access to Program Files Folder and its sub-folders. The conversion will fail if you convert directly from the program folders and you do not have write access right to the folder.

Result

·

After conversion, the original file is unchanged. A new file called _unicode_demo.txt is created.

·

Use a Unicode Compatible Editor to view _unicode_demo.txt. You will find that the content of the converted file is same as the original one.

·

Check the file size of both files. The size of converted file is double of the original one because the file has been encoded in Unicode.

Note: If you corrupt demo.txt file during conversion, you may extract the file from demo.zip archive.
