🤨 How to change character code on Mac?

#linux #vim #beginners

💎 I got sql file from friend who uses Windows

But I could not execute it on my Mac because of character error

Windows Mac
Shift JIS UTF-8

â–¼ Japanese characters are corrupted

INSERT INTO Shain(Id,CreateDate,Sei,Mei,Tel,Bikou) VALUES(1,'2010/07/23 12:19:45','ono1','shinichi1','1-a-1','備考AAAAAA1') INSERT INTO Shain(Id,CreateDate,Sei,Mei,Tel,Bikou) VALUES(2,'2010/07/23 12:20:45','ono2','shinichi2','1-a-2','備考AAAAAA2') INSERT INTO Shain(Id,CreateDate,Sei,Mei,Tel,Bikou) VALUES(3,'2010/07/23 12:21:45','ono3','shinichi3','1-a-3','備考AAAAAA3') INSERT INTO Shain(Id,CreateDate,Sei,Mei,Tel,Bikou) VALUES(4,'2010/07/23 12:22:45','ono4','shinichi4','1-a-4','備考AAAAAA4') ...

💎 How to resolve it?

$ brew install nkf // check file character code $ nkf -g file.sql Shift_JIS // I wanna change to UTF-8 $ nkf -w --overwrite file.sql
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

then resolved !

INSERT INTO Shain(Id,CreateDate,Sei,Mei,Tel,Bikou) VALUES(1,'2010/07/23 12:19:45','ono1','shinichi1','1-a-1','備考AAAAAA1') INSERT INTO Shain(Id,CreateDate,Sei,Mei,Tel,Bikou) VALUES(2,'2010/07/23 12:20:45','ono2','shinichi2','1-a-2','備考AAAAAA2') INSERT INTO Shain(Id,CreateDate,Sei,Mei,Tel,Bikou) VALUES(3,'2010/07/23 12:21:45','ono3','shinichi3','1-a-3','備考AAAAAA3') INSERT INTO Shain(Id,CreateDate,Sei,Mei,Tel,Bikou) VALUES(4,'2010/07/23 12:22:45','ono4','shinichi4','1-a-4','備考AAAAAA4')
