I don't believe there is something that will figure out the non-accented version of a given character, but you could do something similar using tr() by passing in "èéêëē" and "eeeee", for example.

Tedious, yes, but only needs to be done a few times and shouldn't be a very painful function that takes a range of lines and does this over them.

Hope this helps,

Salman
