file-encoder

file-encoder is a script that uses libicu to detect file encoding & uses iconv to convert files' encoding.

you DO NOT have to know the original encoding of the file to finish the converting

Usage

NOTE: install iconv & ICU first if you haven't.

npm install file-encoder -g
file-encoder -h

• use case: convert a file's encoding to utf8

file-encoder -f ${filename}

• use case: convert a file's content to utf8 and write to another file

file-encoder -f ${filename} -t ${targetFilename}

• use case: convert all files' encoding to gbk in a directory

file-encoder -d ${directory} -e gbk

• use case: convert all files' encoding to utf8 in a directory recursively

file-encoder -d ${directory} -r

• use case: convert all files' encoding to utf8 in a directory recursively excluding some paths

file-encoder -d ${directory} -r --exclude node_modules --exclude test --exclude dev

• use case: convert encoding of all files with specified extnames to utf8 in a directory

file-encoder -d ${directory} --extname js --extname css --extname html
