| # Find encoding | |
| find . -type f | xargs -0 -I {} echo "{}" | xargs -I {} file -bi {} | |
| # Re-encode | |
| find . -type f | xargs -0 -I {} echo "{}" | xargs -I {} recode ISO-8859-1..UTF-8 {} |
Google show this answer really often, my suggestion is to avoid middle xargs and use -print0 if you call -0 xargs option:
Forward transfrom to unicode
$ find . -type f -print0 | xargs -t -0 -n 1 recode CP1251/CR-LF..UTF-8Inverse one
$ find . -type f -print0 | xargs -t -0 -n 1 recode UTF-8..CP1251/CR-LF
