gedit: Open a text file with a specific encoding.
$ gedit --encoding=${UTF-8} ${filename}
try on your machine
This command is used to open a text file named "filename" in the gedit text editor with the specified UTF-8 encoding.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "gedit": This is the command to launch the gedit text editor.
- "--encoding=${UTF-8}": This option specifies the encoding to be used when opening the file. In this case, the UTF-8 encoding is specified. The "${UTF-8}" is a shell variable that may have been defined earlier or represents the UTF-8 encoding value itself.
- "${filename}": This is a placeholder for the actual name of the file you want to open. You should replace it with the actual filename you want to edit.
Overall, the command tells the gedit text editor to open a file named "filename" using the UTF-8 encoding.
