examples
sfk wtoa in.txt
if in.txt contains wide character data
print this as Ansi text to terminal.
because characters must be converted to
a DOS codepage for terminal output
it is not sure that every accent or umlaut
character is printed as expected.
sfk wtoa in.txt -tofile out.txt
write output to out.txt, keeping the Ansi
encoding as is. text can then be viewed
and edited by a text editor like Notepad++.
sfk load in.txt +iwtoa +filter -+foo
get all lines containing "foo".
sfk is a free open-source tool, running instantly without installation efforts. no DLL's, no registry changes - just get sfk.exe from the zip package and use it (binaries for windows, linux and mac are included). read more about all sfk functions here.
