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.

The file is encoded as UTF-16 without a BOM; so try choosing either "Unicode (UTF-16, No BOM)" or "Unicode (UTF-16 Little Endian, No BOM)" for "Reopen Using Encoding". (It's *probably* the latter if it came from a Windows machine, so try that first.)

That should save you some steps.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.
