How to change encoding in many files?

Question

I try this:

find . -exec iconv -f iso8859-2 -t utf-8 {} \\;

but output goes to the screen, not to the same file. How to do it?

Answer 1

read about enconv.
If you need to convert to your current terminal encoding you can do it like that:

find . -exec enconv -L czech {}\;

Or exactly what you wanted:

find . -exec enconv -L czech -x utf8 {}\;
