Re^3: How to check the encoding format of an XML

They are in UCS-2LE but I need to have them in UTF-8 or ANSI.

perl -pe'
   BEGIN {
      binmode STDIN,  ":raw:perlio:encoding(UTF-16le)";
      binmode STDOUT, ":raw:perlio:encoding(UTF-8)";
   }
' < file.xml > file.utf8.xml

(UTF-16le is a superset of UCS-2le, so it's safer to use it when decoding.)

Update: Note that this doesn't fix the encoding= attribute of the <?xml?> directive. But it sounds like your trying to make the encoding match it anyway.
