Some handy shell scripts useful for myself and maybe others.
Nowadays I am using windows a lot, the shell shipped with windows is not so appealing, instead I use Gow, however, it's still not the same as *ux systems. So some commands are used in the MINGW64 window come along with Git.
:blush: for both Gow and Git shell
:penguin: for Git shell but not Gow
:scream_cat: for Gow but not Git shell (since it really amazing, can shell in Linux like worse than windows?)
iconv :penguin:
iconv: Converts text from one encoding to another encoding.
iconv -f GBK -t UTF-8 gbk_file.txt > utf_8_file.txt
To convert back, please plus the -c configuration to discard unconvertible characters
iconv -c -f UTF-8 -t GBK utf_8_file.txt > gbk_file.txt
However, it would be better if we can change all files (maybe one specific extension) in a directory to certain encoding.
Here you are:
1 | find src_dir/ -name "*.txt" -type f -exec ./change_encoding.sh {} \; |
see change_encoding.sh for more info.
