Linux view file encoding format and file encoding conversion

If you need to operate files under Windows in Linux, you may often encounter problems with file encoding conversions. The default file format in Windows is GBK (gb2312), and Linux is generally UTF-8. Here's how to view the encoding of a file in Linux and how to encode and convert the file.

View File Encoding
There are several ways to view file encodings in Linux:
1. The file encoding can be viewed directly in vim

Shell Code

1. : Set fileencoding

You can display the file encoding format.
If you just want to see other encoded files or if you want to solve the problem of viewing files garbled with Vim, you can
Add the following to the ~/.VIMRC file:

Shell Code

1. Set Encoding=utf-8 fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf-8,cp936

This allows vim to automatically identify the file encoding (which automatically identifies the UTF-8 or GBK encoded file), in fact, in accordance with the fileencodings provided by the encoding list to try, if not found the appropriate encoding, the latin-1 (ASCII) encoding opened.
2. eNCA (if you do not have this command installed on your system, you can use sudo yum install-y eNCA installation) to view the file encoding
$ enca filename
Filename:universal Transformation Format 8 bits; UTF-8
CRLF Line Terminators
It is important to note that eNCA is not very good at identifying certain GBK encoded files and will appear when identified:
Unrecognized encoding

File Encoding Conversion
1. Convert file encoding directly into Vim, such as converting a file to Utf-8 format

Shell Code

1. : Set Fileencoding=utf-8

2. Enconv conversion file encoding, such as to convert a GBK encoded file into UTF-8 encoding, the operation is as follows
Enconv-l zh_cn-x UTF-8 filename

3. Iconv conversion, the ICONV command format is as follows:
Iconv-f ENCODING-T Encoding Inputfile
such as converting a UTF-8 encoded file into a GBK encoding.
Iconv-f gbk-t UTF-8 file1-o file2
