• File Convert-File-Encoding.ps1 — part of check-in [5e48338c3b] at 2018-06-10 13:18:32 on branch trunk — R.Vantrease ver 1.0 – The source control I use does not understand the default encoding that PowerShell_ISE saves scripts in (Unicode Big Endian), so I wanted a way to quickly convert my scripts to a friendlier encoding. I wrote the following little ditty to convert all the PowerShell scripts and module files to ASCII encoding. (user: Richard Vantreas size: 924)
