https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/recode-cyrillic-to-1251/m-p/3196272#M714126 Hi everybody,<BR /><BR />I've got the challenge to make a File encoded as ISO8859-5 into MS-readable form CP1251. Therefore I've installed the gnu-Package "recode 3.6" plus "gettext" plus "libiconv 1.9.2" on a HPUX 11.0.<BR /><BR />The commandline to build the readable file: recode -v ISO-8859-5..CP1251 &lt; bul.dat &gt; read.dat<BR /><BR />First I get the message "recode: Invalid input in step `ISO-8859-5..CP1251'"; then having a look at this read.dat with ms word I experienced that half of this file has been recoded fine but the other half is junk. Unnecessary to say that recoding the same file on a linux-box (test machine) goes perfectly fine ...<BR /><BR />I've googled through internet but couldn't find any usefull info insofar any help is welcome ...<BR /><BR />thx-a-lot<BR />stg Thu, 19 Feb 2004 03:08:46 GMT Stefan_6 2004-02-19T03:08:46Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/recode-cyrillic-to-1251/m-p/3196272#M714126 Hi everybody,<BR /><BR />I've got the challenge to make a File encoded as ISO8859-5 into MS-readable form CP1251.

However, you can build such a translation table using the "genxlt" utility.
