| 13:40 | Here is a quick script I created to convert files to ASCII character set. This came about because I found Out-File was creating files as Unicode and Add-Content was writing ASCII (Even though the help says it defaults to Unicode). So writing to the files with Add-Content would use the wrong encoding and add garbage to the log files. I changed all my code to include the -Encoding ASCII parameter, but had thousands of files encoded as Unicode. (Note: To see what format it is, open in Notepad and select Save As… it will be listed at the bottom). It replaces the file with a new ASCII encoded file so I also added some logic to capture and set the original file timestamps. This is my first draft so I’m sure there is room for improvements. Such as error handling and adjustments so the input parameters don’t have to be so exact, but it works and thought I would share. -=Levon file: [084a517359] check-in: [9eff237e50] user: Levon Becker branch: trunk, size: 6405 | |
