Convert UTF-8 text file to ISO 8859-P2 (*nix)

There is a simple way in linux to convert text files from one characterset to another. A command named iconv:

iconv --to-code=ISO-8859-2 --from-code=UTF-8 my_utf8.txt > my_iso.txt

Share the joy

Yup, it’s cool. I had it corrupt some of my files… It simply wouldn’t convert them correctly. Don’t remember what the problem was though… Though, it had something to do with files, and not with iconv. It worked with jedit… 🙂
