input file with 50k plus unix file command shows it as ISO-8859 text, with very long lines
input record causing issue MONTRéAL
when i use iconv command like below nothing changes, record is as-is
**iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 input.txt -o output.txt**
when i copy the specific record in question using sed command, file is created as utf-8 and the record looks good
**MONTRéAL**
**sed -n '41696p' input.txt > output.txt**
when i copy from 1 through 41696 with the same sed command, record didn't change
**sed -n '1,41696p' input.txt > output.txt**
how do I copy the file from iso-8859 to utf-8 with proper characterset??
