iconv: Converting from Windows ANSI to UTF-8 with BOM

问题:

I want to use iconv to convert files on my Mac. The goal is to go from "Windows ANSI" to "whatever Windows Notepad saves, if you tell it to use UFT8".

This is what I want:

anders-johansen-privats-macbook-pro:test andersprivat$ file names.csv  names.csv: UTF-8 Unicode (with BOM) text, with CRLF line terminators 

This is what I use:

iconv -f CP1252 -t UTF-8  names.csv > names.utf8.csv  

This is what I get (not what I want):

file names.utf8.csv  names.utf8.csv: UTF-8 Unicode text, with CRLF line terminators 

How do I get the BOM?

回答1:

You can add it manually by first echoing the bytes into the file:

echo -ne '\xEF\xBB\xBF' > names.utf8.csv 

and then concatenating your required information at the end:

iconv -f CP1252 -t UTF-8  names.csv >> names.utf8.csv 

Note the >> rather than >.

回答2:

Note that "Windows ANSI" may not be CP1252 - that is configured by users.

回答3:

I needed the opossite. (covert german text from UTF-8 to ANSI)

So command I used:
1. iconv -l (check available formats)
2. iconv -f UTF8 -t MS-ANSI de.txt > output.txt

and now if I open output.txt it is already in ANSI. Job done.
