Powershell: Setting Encoding for Get-Content Pipeline
encoding, powershell
Solution
As suggested here:
Get-Content tmp.log | Out-File -Encoding UTF8 new.log
Problem
I have a file saved as UCS-2 Little Endian I want to change the encoding so I ran the following code: ``` cat tmp.log -encoding UTF8 > new.log ``` The resulting file is still in UCS-2 Little Endian. Is this because the pipeline is always in that format? Is there an easy way to pipe this to a new file as UTF8?
