MAP(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation MAP(1)NAMEmap - An utility to map texts from and to unicode
SYNOPSISmap - recode from and to various character sets.
Reads from STDIN, writes to STDOUT.
usage: map [--from cset] [--to cset] < input.txt > output.txt
from s Encoding of input files (default "ISO-8859-1")
list Lists available character sets and their alias names.
to s Encoding of output files (default "ISO-8859-1")
DESCRIPTION
Maps text from one character set representation to another. This work
is actually long time very well done by "recode", but unfortunately
recode does not support Unicode and eastern asia character sets. But,
if you have pure 8 bit things to do, recode will still be the best
solution.
Examples:
Conversion from ISO-8859-1 to Unicode:
map--to unicode < iso-8859-1.txt > unicode.txt
Conversion from GB2312 to CP936:
map--from cp936 --to GB2312 < gb2312.txt > cp936.txt
Conversion from CP850 to Unicode:
map--from cp850 --to unicode < cp850.txt > unicode.txt
