Hi dear,
It may be interesting for you to know how I use dbview in Midnight
Commander. Since historically Russian and Ukrainian symbols have several
charsets still used widely, I use 'enca' encoding guesser (from Debian
distribution) like this in Midnight Commander's extension file:
# dbf
regex/\.([dD][bB][fF])$
Open=%view{ascii} dbview %f |enca -L ru -cx utf-8 2>/dev/null
View=%view{ascii} dbview -b %f |enca -L ru -cx utf-8 2>/dev/null
So now it correctly shows both DOS FoxPro and Windows Visual FoxPro dbf
files without any user decision. You may mention this technique in docs
if you want.
Thank you,
Ruslan Fedyarov
