21 <h2>Native2Ascii</h2>
22
23 <h3>Description:</h3>
24
25 <p>
26 Converts files from native encodings to ASCII with escaped Unicode.
27 A common usage is to convert source files maintained in a native
28 operating system encoding, to ASCII prior to compilation.
29 </p>
30
31 <p>
32 Files in the directory <em>src</em>
33 are converted from a native encoding to ASCII.
34 By default, all files in the directory are converted.
35 However, conversion may be limited to selected files using
36 <em>includes</em> and <em>excludes</em> attributes.
37 For more information on file matching patterns,
38 see the section on
39 <a href="../dirtasks.html#directorybasedtasks">directory based tasks</a>.
40 If no <em>encoding</em> is specified,
41 the default encoding for the JVM is used.
42 If <em>ext</em> is specified, then output files are renamed
43 to use it as a new extension.
44 More sophisticated file name translations can be achieved using a nested
45 <em><code>&lt;mapper&gt;</code></em> element. By default an
46 <a href="../CoreTypes/mapper.html#identity-mapper">identity mapper</a> will be used.
47 If <em>dest</em> and <em>src</em> point to the same directory,
48 the <em>ext</em> attribute or a nested <em><code>&lt;mapper&gt;</code></em>
49 is required.
50 </p>
51
52 <p>
53 This task forms an implicit <a href="../CoreTypes/fileset.html">File Set</a>,
54 and supports all attributes of <code>&lt;fileset&gt;</code>
55 (<code>dir</code> becomes <code>src</code>) as well as
56 nested <code>&lt;include&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;exclude&gt;</code>,
57 and <code>&lt;patternset&gt;</code> elements.
58 </p>
59
60 <p>It is possible to use different converters. This can be selected
61 with the <code>implementation</code> attribute.
62 <a name="implementationvalues">Here are the choices</a>:</p>
63 <ul>
64 <li>default - the default converter (kaffe or sun) for the platform.</li>
65 <li>sun (the standard converter of the JDK)</li>
66 <li>kaffe (the standard converter of <a href="http://www.kaffe.org" target="_top">Kaffe</a>)</li>

192
193 <p>
194 Converts all files in the directory <em>srcdir</em>
195 ending in <code>.eucjis</code> from the EUCJIS encoding to ASCII
196 and renames them to end in <code>.java</code>.
197 </p>

200&lt;native2ascii encoding=&quot;EUCJIS&quot; src=&quot;native/japanese&quot; dest=&quot;src&quot;
201 includes=&quot;**/*.java&quot;/&gt;
202</pre>
203
204 <p>
205 Converts all the files ending in <code>.java</code>
206 in the directory <em>native/japanese</em> to ASCII,
207 placing the results in the directory <em>src</em>.
208 The names of the files remain the same.
