Convert-FileEncoding and Get-FileEncoding
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Converts files to the given encoding.
Matches the include pattern recursively under the given path.
.EXAMPLE
Convert-FileEncoding -Include *.js -Path scripts -Encoding UTF8
#>
function Convert-FileEncoding([string]$Include, [string]$Path, [string]$Encoding='UTF8') {
$count = 0
Get-ChildItem -Include $Pattern -Recurse -Path $Path `
| select FullName, @{n='Encoding';e={Get-FileEncoding $_.FullName}} `
| where {$_.Encoding -ne $Encoding} `
| % { (Get-Content $_.FullName) `
| Out-File $_.FullName -Encoding $Encoding; $count++; }
Write-Host "$count $Pattern file(s) converted to $Encoding in $Path."
}

<#
.SYNOPSIS
Gets file encoding.
.DESCRIPTION
The Get-FileEncoding function determines encoding by looking at Byte Order Mark (BOM).
Based on port of C# code from http://www.west-wind.com/Weblog/posts/197245.aspx
.EXAMPLE
Get-ChildItem *.ps1 | select FullName, @{n='Encoding';e={Get-FileEncoding $_.FullName}} | where {$_.Encoding -ne 'ASCII'}
This command gets ps1 files in current directory where encoding is not ASCII
.EXAMPLE
Get-ChildItem *.ps1 | select FullName, @{n='Encoding';e={Get-FileEncoding $_.FullName}} | where {$_.Encoding -ne 'ASCII'} | foreach {(get-content $_.FullName) | set-content $_.FullName -Encoding ASCII}
Same as previous example but fixes encoding using set-content

There is one error in the 11th line, the "$pattern" should be "$include". But still, thanks for your help.
