I'd just like to spread information about internationalization for the Americian monk who thinks naïvely thinks other languages all use 8859_1 just a handful of accented letters.

Well, that was a pretty far leap. It's true, if you try to read files with this script that aren't in the encoding it expects, as it is written, you will almost certainly end up with wrong results. Perhaps I should have mentioned that. But in looking through my post, I can't find the spot where I say "This is the best and only way to do this, and it will deal all possible data sets without modification."

It was a 5 minute throw away script I just tossed off to give an idea of how the problem could be approached. Sorry I can't live up to the high standards of ambrus who naively believes that every quick and dirty one-off script should be perfect in every way and cover every eventuality.
