This is how I want to do:
1. open many files from multiple folders manually. (Sometimes the number can be hundreds, or thousands) . Once all files are open, I save them as a workplace for later use.
2. convert all CJK compatible characters in the files in the workplace to unified ones automatically by the help of a macro.
The 2nd step is what I want to do using a macro without a program halt. Is there any safe and fast way to do this using a macro?
Thank you for your help.
Here’s what you wrote in your macro Uni_CJK_3.jsee .
——————
var folderPath = “C:\\Users\\makot\\Downloads\\”; // Use double backslash to use backslash character in string// List of documents to process
var docs = [
[“test1.txt”],
[“test2.txt”]
];

Does it mean I have to change the folder path and the list of documents every time I work with different text file sets? If so, I’m afraid it is not very practical. Most of the time normal users open files and use ‘find & replace’ with ‘Search All Documents in the Group’ checked. Sometimes users open files from different folders. Sometimes hundreds or thousands of files from different folders. I wonder if it is too complicated a work to write a general purpose macro for that situation. if it is not a simple job, I’d better stop here.I’m not sure if you need this one, but here’s an excel file just for your information. (if you don’t mind Korean language)
I tried to make a macro as you recommended, but I had a problem.
It came to a halt while dealing with just a few text files. Yes, there must be some mistakes, but I don’t know why. I am just a normal computer user and don’t know how to make a computer program, even a simple one.
Can you teach me what I didn’t do?
p.s.
I don’t want compulsive replacement like that of chrome or mediawiki. User selection like Traditional to Simplified Chinese would be the best way for the feature.
