custom database format - How to save as ANSI

(1/2) > >>

onocentaur:
I've been slowly going crazy trying to make a custom database view and it hasn't been working properly at all. Then I notice that it has to be saved as ANSI without BOM! I have been saving as UTF-8 (like WPS!). Anyway, I'm using ubuntu and gedit as my text editor and I don't know how to save in that file format, I can only find ISO standards, foreign types and UTF-8. Can anyone tell me how to save a text file as ANSI? Thanks!

elborak:
If a file only contains characters in the ASCII range, UTF-8 will be identical to ASCII.

onocentaur:
I need ANSI, not ASCII  ???

markun:
with "iconv" you can convert from UTF-8 to MS-ANSI.

What do you mean by a custom database view in ANSI? Is this rockbox related?
