kCharConverter.sh

The kCharConverter.sh script is used to convert the character set of a file to a different character set. If no source encoding has been specified. he script uses the default character set of the system It will convert it to the character set specified by destEnc.

Examples

sh ./kCharConverter.sh [-p] [-escape <sourceFile> <destFile> <encoding>]
sh ./kCharConverter.sh [-p] [-unescape <sourceFile> <destFile> <encoding>]
sh ./kCharConverter.sh [-p] [-escape <sourceFile> <destFile> <encoding>]

where

-p	Prints the default encoding
-convert	Converts the source file from the source encoding to the destination encoding and writes the result to the destination file.
-escape	Converts the source file from the given encoding to a Latin-1 encoding and escapes to Unicode.
-unescape	Converts the source file from Latin-1 encoding to the specified encoding and replaces all the escape
Source_File	represents the original character file name
Dest_File	represents the new file name
Source_Enc	represents the original character set encoding for the file
Dest_Enc	represents the new character set encoding you are setting for the file

If you do not specify the source encoding, the script uses the default character set of the system and converts that to the destination character set you specify.
