Plugin (Plugin, Supplement) to plain text editor Notepad ++, which allows to recode the text from the OEM (MS DOS) encoding in the current encoding used by Windows, such as Windows 1251 for the Russian version, and vice versa.


Why do it ...


Currently still quite common text files in the so-called encoding OEM. This description of the contents of archives in various file-sharing networks, and save even more recently with documents and even books, scored in a variety of text editors for MS DOS. Also, files encoded in OEM often encounter those who have to write batch files or a "script" for the command line interpreter.


Edit the file can be in a conventional notebook for Windows, but only if you use quite hard to read font (when a lot) Terminal or Fixedsys. About syntax highlighting and other delights of Notepad ++ at the same time, of course, will have to forget.


Using plug OEMConvert You can safely edit the file converting it into a "home" for Windows and Notepad ++ code page, and then save it in coding DOS. Or vice versa.


You can also convert only the parts of the document that require this, simply highlight the desired fragment.


Setting


To install the plug-in is enough to remove its corresponding version (Unicode or Ansi) of ZIP-file into the folder "Plugins", located in the folder where you installed Notepad ++, for example, "C: \\ Program Files \\ Notepad ++ \\ Plugins".


After the launch Notepad ++ in the "Extras" will be a new item "OEMConvert".

Use


Selecting from "OEM -> Windows" or "Windows -> OEM" menu plugin converts the currently selected text in the Notepad ++ in the selected direction. If there is no selection, the transformation is applied to the entire document.


Example


Notepad ++ to create a new document as follows:


echo test plug OEMConvert


Save the document under the name C: \\ test.bat or C: \\ test.cmd


Open the command line interface. Execute the command C: \\ test.bat.


We see instead of clear text "krakozyabliki."


Go back to Notepad ++, open the file in it C: \\ test.bat, choose the menu "Extras" -> "OEMConvert" -> "Windows -> OEM". Instead, the text "Test plugin" appear "krakozyabliki." Save the edited file.


Open the command line interface. Execute the command C: \\ test.bat.


We see quite understandable text.


Go back to Notepad ++, open the file in it C: \\ test.bat, choose the menu "Extras" -> "OEMConvert" -> "OEM -> Windows". Instead of "krakozyablikov" back-to-read text that can be edited.
