Batch-convert files for encoding or line ending
Hello, since I often work with sourcecodes and latex documents written either on windows, linux and osx I was looking for a simple command-line tool available for linux and osx which allows me to quickly convert from a format to another.. I'm sure it must exist!
Something like:
convert -from utf8 -to iso8859-1 oldfile.tex newfile.tex
Can anyone suggest me something useful for my purpose?
In addition it would be nice to have something that is able to guess which text format is used within a document, the final answer would be a tool able to to both things :)
Thanks in advance!
Jack
