ls | while read filename do mv -i "$filename" "`echo \"$filename\" | iconv -f GB2312 -t UTF8`" done

Or you can use the convmv tool (in fedora) to do that too.

Well, you may still have to guess if the sample size is small such that it can't accurately determine it. In looking at both enca and convmv I noticed that their "--list" options show a subset of the encodings available in iconv. So, while they are very good they may not fill a given need. -- "Today is the tomorrow you were worried about yesterday. Was it worth it?" 葛斯克愛德華 / 台北市八德路四段

Well...the man page says "enca -- detect and convert encoding of text files" and we are talking about file names not the contents of the file. I think the problem with detection of the encoding of the file name...and even a text tile contents is that if the number of characters is small (i.e. small sample size) the detection is prone to error. -- If you're careful enough, nothing bad or good will ever happen to you. 葛斯克愛德華 / 台北市八德路四段

Thanks for pointing. I will look at the convmv tool On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 11:18 AM, Jens Petersen <petersen(a)redhat.com> wrote:

From enca man page: If you are lucky enough, the only two things you will ever need to know are: command enca FILE will tell you which encoding file FILE uses (without changing it), and enconv FILE will convert file FILE to your locale native encoding.

For that purpose there's a powerful utility called enca.
