What are the different ways in which I can convert tscii text, using azhagi's unicode converter tool?

Start 'Azhagi' and click on 'File -> Convert to Unicode' to open Azhagi's converter tool.

1. Azhagi 'unicode converter' can directly read an html file (or .js or .txt or any other file you specify) and convert it into its unicode equivalent. You use the 'Choose HTML file' and 'Convert HTML file' to effect this conversion. To view the contents of the loaded html file, click the check box next to the file name display area. If the Tamil content of the html file appears as junk in the display, click on 'Refresh text area' to rectify it.

You may try converting the Sample files (azUniSample1.html and azUniSample2.html) which you may find in 'C:\Program Files\AzhagiNo.1\azDocs\uniConverters' directory. You may also find the converted unicodes files (with all formatting intact) as azUniSample1-utf8.html , azUniSample1-utf16.html , azUniSample2-utf8.html and azUniSample2-utf16.html .

2. Azhagi's 'unicode converter' also provides a text area to hold the tscii Tamil text - as Plain text or HTML text. As you click the appropriate 'Convert' button, the text in the corresponding text area is converted to Unicode and presented to you as an HTML file (you can choose the file name), for quick and easy information interchange.

The text area can be populated in 3 different ways:

·  By default, the text area will carry the text (if any) contained in azhagi's Tamil text area

·  You can copy Tscii Tamil text (non-html) from any external source (say an MS-Word document) and paste it in the text area. You can also open an html file, copy the entire html content and paste it in the text area.

Tip : While pasting from external source, if the pasted Tamil text appears as junk, click on 'Refresh text area' to get it displayed in Tamil. 

·  You can type any new Tamil text in the text area using azhagi's 'Direct typing' mode. You can also type your text in html format with html tags.

Tip : When you type just plain Tamil text, always click on 'Plain Text' button to effect conversion.  When you type your text in html format, always click on 'HTML Text' button to effect conversion. The results might be unpredictable if you do not follow this instruction.

3. Azhagi can also effect 'Batch processing' - i.e. convert multiple files (*.html or *.js or *.txt or *.*) at the same time. Click on 'Convert mutiple files (Batch Process)' button and you can achieve this. Its a powerful and highly flexible batch processor giving you the option to set/choose various atrributes, like :

·    Source directory
·    Destination directory
·    Type of files to be converted
and
·  Suffix for the converted files' names
