Greetings!

I have done some research on the digitalmars.com for some d code showing UTF8
to ANSI stuff, and there isn't anything that I can clearly use.

Long story short, I have about 600+ files that I need to convert from UTF8 to
ANSI.  They have different languages characters.  I can do open the files with
notepad and save them as ANSI, but, I thought that I would write a quick d
program to do this.

Can anyone point me out to a site or place where I can quickly create this
small program?

thanks,

jose

If by "ANSI" you mean the Windows-1252/Latin-1, use
std.windows.charset.toMBSz.  You can then use std.string.toString to
get a char[].  A simple program would look something like:

import std.file;
import std.windows.charset;
import std.string;

...

foreach(file; listdir("the_dir"))
    write("latin_" ~ file, toString(toMBSz(cast(char[])read(file))));

and that will write out a file "latin_<filename>" for each file in the_dir.
