batch convert text files from ANSI to Unicode

[vinnyMS 0]

i have this script,

Func _ANSI2UNICODE($sString = "")
    Local Const $SF_ANSI = 1
    Local Const $SF_UTF8 = 4
    Return BinaryToString(StringToBinary($sString, $SF_ANSI), $SF_UTF8)
EndFunc   ;==>_ANSI2UNICODE

 

i need a version that can target a folder of text files to convert them from ANSI to Unicode

Please help if possible. I have 2000+ text files to convert. I depend on this

[Musashi 377]

Try :

#include <File.au3>
Global $aFileList, $sFileRead, $hFileOpen
$aFileList = _FileListToArray(@ScriptDir, "*.txt", $FLTA_FILES)
For $i = 1 To $aFileList[0]
    $sFileRead = FileRead(@ScriptDir & "\" & $aFileList[$i])
    ConsoleWrite($i & ": convert file " & $aFileList[$i] & @CRLF)
    $hFileOpen = FileOpen(@ScriptDir & "\converted\" & $aFileList[$i], BitOR($FO_OVERWRITE, $FO_CREATEPATH, $FO_UTF8_NOBOM))
    FileWrite($hFileOpen, $sFileRead)
    FileClose($hFileOpen)
Next

The original text files (ANSI) in the @ScriptDir will be converted and stored in the subdirectory \converted.

thank you so much

how do i make it work on all sub folders with "_FileListToArrayRec"

it doesn't seem to work,

 

i also removed the "converted" folder to replace all files and to let them where they're located originally

[Aelc 25]

$aFileList = _FileListToArrayRec(@ScriptDir, "*.txt", 1,1)

doesn't work?
