The recode reference manual
3.8 Using recode within Emacs
The fact recode is a filter makes it quite easy to use from
within GNU Emacs. For example, recoding the whole buffer from
the IBM-PC charset to current charset (Latin-1 on
Unix) is easily done with:
| | C-x h C-u M-| recode ibmpc RET
|
`C-x h' selects the whole buffer, and `C-u M-|' filters and
replaces the current region through the given shell command. Here is
another example, binding the keys `C-c T' to the recoding of
the current region from Easy French to Latin-1 (on Unix) and the key
`C-u C-c T' from Latin-1 (on Unix) to Easy French:
| | (global-set-key "\C-cT" 'recode-texte)
(defun recode-texte (flag)
(interactive "P")
(shell-command-on-region
(region-beginning) (region-end)
(concat "recode " (if flag "..txte" "txte")) t)
(exchange-point-and-mark))
