If it is just a question of it being something like a Windows 16 bit text file, there is "iconv" for converting between any number of encoding formats. (Of course since there are an infinite number of them, guessing which format the source is in can be hard). Just as one example I use this to convert text files my TiVo claims are utf-8, but which are really windows encoded file so they really are utf-8: iconv -f windows-1252 -t utf-8 < input > output _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
