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.
