Hi,

I'm trying to use iconv to convert a Shift-JIS document to UTF-8. It's successful in Terminal, but not so in TextMate.

The command I use in Terminal is:

iconv -f shift-jis -t utf-8 text1.txt>text2.txt

This converts the file successfully.

In TextMate, I set up a command, using:

iconv -f shift-jis -t utf-8 "$TM_FILEPATH"

in Command(s) field. I set Save: Nothing Input: None Output: Replace Document

This doesn't work because the cryptic text in TM's window is utf-8 now! There are dozens of ways.

one would be to write in a new TM window:

iconv -f shift-jis -t utf-8 /PATH/TO/file.txt | cat

and press CTRL+R
