I am starting to work with big files and I know very little about encodings. I have a file and I do not know which code it uses. I replace the string \xa1 (represented by ¢ when it is opened with isolatin in Mac) by ó with a perl command. And I replace the string \xa2 (represented by a little circle with isolatin in Mac) by í with a perl command. The original file is a peruvian file in spanish. How can I know which it is the encoding used to create this file?
