How remove accents in PowerShell?

by

As per ip.’s answer, here is the Powershell version.

function Remove-Diacritics {
param ([String]$src = [String]::Empty)
  $normalized = $src.Normalize( [Text.NormalizationForm]::FormD )
  $sb = new-object Text.StringBuilder
  $normalized.ToCharArray() | % { 
    if( [Globalization.CharUnicodeInfo]::GetUnicodeCategory($_) -ne [Globalization.UnicodeCategory]::NonSpacingMark) {
      [void]$sb.Append($_)
    }
  }
  $sb.ToString()
}

# Test data
@("Rhône", "Basíl", "Åbo", "", "Gräsäntörmä") | % { Remove-Diacritics $_ }

Output:

Rhone
Basil
Abo

Grasantorma
