Hi all,

I wish to convert strings from New Irish Gaelic Orthography to the older format. First of all, I wish to convert vowels (AEIOU) followed by a forwardslash, as follows -

A/ -> Á
a/ -> á

etc.

Second I need to convert small letter s and r, as follows -
r -> ‰
s -> Š

And finally, the following -

Bh -> ¡
bh -> ¢
Ch -> ¤
ch -> ¥
Dh -> ¦
dh -> «
Fh -> °
fh -> ±
Gh -> ²
gh -> ³
Mh -> ´
mh -> µ
Ph -> ∙
ph -> ¹
Sh -> »
sh -> š
Th -> ×
th -> ÷

Don't worry about the funny charachters above, I'll be working with a different font, and charset.

As an example, the following should convert as -

Barra O/ Gri/obhtha
Ba‰‰a Ó G‰ío¢÷a
I'll also need to implement this in javascript - lucky it includes regex also.
Anyway, How might I go about doing this using replacing regular expressions?

Cheers,

Barry.
