How do I remove diacritics (accents) from a string in .NET? - Stack OverflowComment

Originally posted by TheFaQQer View Post... The business have said that if the character is the same without any accent, then that's OK by them - so if one system says "n" and the other says "ñ" then they want that to match.
So, I was hoping to do a regular expression replace on the text in both tables to replace "ñ" with "n" in both systems, and the same for a,e,i,o,u etc. etc.
Apart from going through a character map, does anyone know of a regular expression syntax that I can use to do the replacement?
Careful, año and ano do not match.
E.g that guy in the business is a real ano.
2014 is going to be a great añoComment
