g2b.pl - Simplified to Traditional Chinese converter


NAME

g2b.pl - Simplified to Traditional Chinese converter


SYNOPSIS

g2b.pl [ -p ] [ -u ] [ inputfile ...] > outputfile


USAGE

    % g2b.pl -p < gbk.txt > big5.txt
    % g2b.pl -pu < simp.txt > trad.txt


DESCRIPTION

The g2b.pl utility reads files sequentially, converts them from Simplified to Traditional Chinese, then writes them to the standard output. The inputfile arguments are processed in command-line order. If inputfile is a single dash (-) or absent, this program reads from the standard input.

The -p switch enables rudimentary phrase-oriented substition via a small built-in lexicon.

The -u switch specifies that both the input and output streams should be UTF-8 encoded. If not specified, the input stream is assumed to be in GBK, and the output will be encoded in Big5.


CAVEATS

In pure-perl implementations (pre-5.8 perl or without a C compiler), -p and -u cannot be used together.
