Publisher review:Enca is an Extremely Naive Charset Analyser. Enca is an Extremely Naive Charset Analyser. It detects character set and encoding of text files and can also convert them to other encodings. The charset detecing functionality is also available as a library. Enca currently can determine 8bit charsets of Belarussian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Estonian, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Russian, Slovak, Slovene, Ukrainian, and Chinese texts and also some multibyte encodings, independently on language (provided it's some European language).
The main features include:
- recognises several multibyte encodings: UCS-2, UCS-4, UTF-8, UTF-7 and TeX accents
- recognises all common EOL types, byte orders and also Quoted-printables
- detects files accidentaly converted twice to UTF-8 from some 8bit encoding
- can report charset names after various conventions (or programs) as well as human-readable descriptions; accepts all common charset aliases
- works with multiple files and can act as an intelligent filter
- converts files using a built-in convertor, GNU recode library, UNIX98 iconv functions or some external convertor that can be specified on command line (e.g. cstocs, GNU recode)
- automagically converts files to your locale preferred character set when called as enconv
- has a special ambiguous mode for very short texts
- can filter out binary parts of file and/or box drawing characters before guessing so it can determine encoding of pretty messy files
- uses various tricks to solve hardly decidable cases like distinguishing between iso8859-2/cp1250, etc.
- is fairly portable, runs on GNU/Linux, all sane Unices, and a few less sane systems
