Batch change encoding ascii files from utf-8 to iso-8859-1 [duplicate]

"You can use iconv from GNUWin32, it works the same as the GNU/Linux counterpart:

iconv -f UTF-8 -t ISO-8859-1 filename.txt

you can then use it with batch, provided you've added it to your %PATH%:

for /f %x in ('dir /b *.txt') do iconv -f UTF-8 -t ISO-8859-1 %x"

"ConvertEncoding link is now dead - use either of these programs which will encode the files for you:

Python Unicode
Perl Encode"
