Does anyone knows how can I save all files in UTF-8 no matter what kind of characters are in the file? This is what is happening: oscar@hedera:~> echo "Tést">test2;file test2 test2: UTF-8 Unicode text oscar@hedera:~> echo "Test">test;file test test: ASCII text (both files should be in UTF-8). This is what I have now: oscar@hedera:~> cat /etc/SuSE-release openSUSE 12.1 (i586) VERSION = 12.1 CODENAME = Asparagus oscar@hedera:~> export declare -x COLORTERM="1" declare -x CONFIG_SITE="/usr/share/site/i686-pc-linux-gnu" declare -x CPU="i686" declare -x CSHEDIT="emacs" declare -x FROM_HEADER="" declare -x GPG_TTY="/dev/pts/0" declare -x G_BROKEN_FILENAMES="1" declare -x G_FILENAME_ENCODING="@locale,UTF-8,ISO-8859-15,CP1252" declare -x HISTSIZE="1000" declare -x HOME="/home/oscar" declare -x HOST="hedera" declare -x HOSTNAME="hedera" declare -x HOSTTYPE="i386" declare -x INPUTRC="/home/oscar/.inputrc" declare -x JAVA_BINDIR="/usr/lib/jvm/java/bin" declare -x JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java" declare -x JAVA_ROOT="/usr/lib/jvm/java" declare -x JDK_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java" declare -x JRE_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/jre" declare -x LANG="es_ES.UTF-8" declare -x LC_CTYPE="es_ES.UTF-8" TIA, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
