DESCRIPTION
Maps text from one character set representation to another. This work is
actually long time very well done by recode, but unfortunately recode
does not support Unicode and eastern asia character sets. But, if you have
pure 8 bit things to do, recode will still be the best solution.
Examples:
Conversion from ISO-8859-1 to Unicode:
map --to unicode < iso-8859-1.txt > unicode.txt
|
Conversion from GB2312 to CP936:
map --from cp936 --to GB2312 < gb2312.txt > cp936.txt
|
Conversion from CP850 to Unicode:
map --from cp850 --to unicode < cp850.txt > unicode.txt
