batch file encoding convertaion

If you need to change encoding of large amount of files in *nix you could find + iconv For example, you are in some site directory and wanna convert all html-files from cp1251 to utf8:

~$ find ./ -name "*.html" -exec iconv -f cp1251 -t utf8 {} -o {}.utf8 \;
~$ find ./ -name "*.html" -exec mv {}.utf8 -o {} \;
find ./ -name "*.html" -exec mv {}.utf8  {} \;

Good luck.
