Hello monks,

I am trying to convert a properties file containing some elements in unicode into utf8.

In order to make this clearer, that is an example of what i want to do:

The base file looks like this:

global.lifeTime=\u00C9lettartam
global.lifeTime_from=\u00C9lettartam \u00F3ta
global.lifeTime_to=\u00C9lettartam eddig
fastExport.tooltip=Javaslat a lapoz\u00E1sra\: kattintson a grafik\u00
+E1ra <br /> Tartsa lenyomva a bal eg\u00E9rgombot, mik\u00F6zben az e
+geret mozgatja.

[download]
What I want to get out looks like this: 
global.lifeTime=Élettartam
global.lifeTime_from=Élettartam óta
global.lifeTime_to=Élettartam eddig
fastExport.tooltip=Javaslat a lapozásra: kattintson a grafikára <br />
+ Tartsa lenyomva a bal egérgombot, miközben az egeret mozgatja.

Can you tell me how I read the whole file (it has about 2000 lines and transforming all the lines according to the example above?

Best regards and thanks in advance

Tobias
