Re: What one-liners do people actually use?

I sometimes pipe stuff through the following one liner for utf8 conversion:

cat my_file | perl -e 'use Encode "from_to"; while (<>) {my $s = $_; f
+rom_to($s,"iso-8859-1","utf8"); print $s}'

You can save yourself a bit of typing there: `perl -MEncode=from_to -pe"from_to( $_, 'iso-8859-1','utf8' )" infile > + outfile` [download] Switch the quotes on *nix.

Nice++. I was going to ask about something like this on SOPW the other day but was a bit embarrassed b/c I knew there must be a super simple way that I ought to be able to figure out myself.	[reply]
