My solution to the problem: iconv -f 'UTF-8' -t 'ASCII//IGNORE' -o output-file-name --verbose input-file-name
The -t 'ASCII//IGNORE' option insures that the offensive characters will be discarded from the output, and the --verbose option tells you where they were in the file. -- refuses to open files with incorrect encoding https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575500 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Registry Administrators, which is the registrant for gedit. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~registry Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~registry More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
