## From http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2311750/change-file-encoding-to-utf-8-via-vim-in-a-script

#This is the simplest way I know of to do this easily from the command line:

vim +"argdo se bomb | se fileencoding=utf-8 | w" $(find . -type f -name *.rb)

#Or better yet if the number of files is expected to be pretty large:

find . -type f -name *.rb | xargs vim +"argdo se bomb | se fileencoding=utf-8 | w"

The list of actions listed below was taken mostly from Book Of Zeus with minor modifications and did the job well for Ubuntu version, which was available at that moment (May 2016). This gist was created for internal use and was never meant to be discovered by the web, although Google managed to find and index this page, which was a great surprise for me. Please check the original source for the updated information (links are provided in most of the sections), and read the comments below: they provide more details about the usage experience.
