Hello,

I have many files with ASCII encoding; this encoding must be kept as
these files are processed also by another program.

When I work with them in ConTeXt, I need to convert them to UTF.

Does Lua (in ConTeXt scope) offer a transformation function or a table
of chars [ASCII-code] -> [UTF-code] or anything to provide the conversion?

Something like:

\startluacode
   local str = loadFile("a.txt") -- ASCII coded

   str = context.ACSII2UTF(str) -- Or something like this
\stopluacode

Best regards,

Lukas

Have a look at tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtx-babel.lua. That's a converter Hans wrote a while ago for a similar problem I had. I don't know if it still works out of the box, but it should help you get an idea what you could do.
