I work in tech support and I have to search log files for things like "error". When I get log files from Windows computers, the Mac Console won't find any matches. I search for "Error" and it says 0 results because it sees E¿r¿r¿o¿r not Error. If I zap the gremlins, then it will match all instances of "Error". So I basically have to run every Windows log through this process manually: Open Log File Reopen using encoding > UTF-8 Click ok to warning about damaged file Text > Zap Gremlins OK to Gremlins dialog File > Save
This is a lot of manual steps for the dozens of logs I have to sift through. Is there any way I can use BBEdit and maybe something like Automator to either automatically Zap Gremlins on every log file that goes into a certain folder, or create a context menu Service, or a droplet, that will run through this sequence so I can get to work quicker?
