It can be done with Perl. For example: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
$ echo "El castellano es la lengua española oficial del Estado. Las |
| 21 |
demás lenguas españolas serán también oficiales en las respectivas |
| 22 |
Comunidades Autónomas" | perl -M'encoding utf8' -MUnicode::Normalize -pe |
| 23 |
'$_=NFKD($_);s/\pM//og' |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
The following output should be seen: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
El castellano es la lengua espanola oficial del Estado. Las demas |
| 28 |
lenguas espanolas seran tambien oficiales en las respectivas Comunidades |
| 29 |
Autonomas |
