|    change file encoding in batch file    |

      From: sean@sean.eternal-september.org              Hi All,              I have a need to change file encoding from whatever it is now to utf-16       and I'd like to do this programmatically without much hassle. Doing a       few searches, I came across chcp and various non-bundled windows tools.       I'd prefer if there were no external dependencies, but if that's not       easily doable, bundle as few dependencies as necessary in my batch file.              The searches I performed reference chcp 1201 and chcp 65001 but doing       the former in the command prompt, I get invalid code page error.              Any pointers on changing the file type will be greatly appreciated!              Best,       sean              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
