Description
The CONVERTUTF8 command converts a codepage encoded App, database, file or table to its UTF-8 equivalent. Specify the type of file to be converted. CONVERTUTF8 APP looks for the App <app-name> in the current Apps directory. CONVERTUTF8 DATABASE looks for the database <database-name> in the current data directory. CONVERTUTF8 FILE looks for the <file-name> in the current directory (include the file extension) or specified location if the full path is included. CONVERTUTF8 TABLE looks for the table <table-name> in the currently open database then, if not found, in the current directory.
The source codepage can be optionally specified using CODEPAGE <cp-id>, where <cp-id> is the numeric or character string codepage id. If not specified, "Windows-1250" is assumed.
Example
convertutf8 app myapp convertutf8 database mydatabase convertutf8 table mytable convertutf8 file myfile.txt codepage "Windows-1253" convertutf8 file myfile.txt codepage 1253
