I want a batch CODE that would convert my list of text files already SAVED as unicode to ANSI Type.

Any help on this is much appreciated.

Also, I thought a way could be to open the unicode text file and write it to an Ansi text file type, howere not sure if this is the right well because I do have
 a list of text files, i want to convert to Ansi text file type.

See the code below, it isn't giving me my result though....


echo off

$file = FileOpen("C:\Examplle.text", 0)  ; Open for Reading
$file1 = FileOpen("C:\Example.text", 1) ; Open for Writing


If $file = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit
EndIf


If $file1 = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit
EndIf

 
While 1
    $chars = FileRead($file, 2)
    If error = -1 Then ExitLoop
        If ($chars) <> "ÿþ" then
            FileWrite ($file1 , StringLeft ($chars , 1))
 
EndIf

Wend

FileClose($file)
FileClose($file1)


Many Thanks

I'm not surprised. That isn't Windows batch/cmd code - it looks like some language you invented.
