I am having trouble searching a large directory of files for a string. The search command I’m using is skipping any file encoded in Unicode. I want to find all the files in this directory that are encoded in Unicode. I am on Windows XP.
Thank you!
You don’t know encoding before you open a file and read from it. So you will enumerate directory files, then go through the list, open and check either
BOMor the content itself (such as certain amount of heading bytes).
