Tuviah, this will be superb- I beg you to implement it for 2.1.1. This is the only capability that Rev doesn't offer for my current project.
But I believe the text encoding name will have to be passed as a parameter, as Robert Brenstein notes. At least an optional parameter.Unless you have an extremely smart encoding guesser. Even TextEdit.app does not correctly guess the encoding this file with ISO-8859-2, I have to pick the encoding manually. Cocoa has a pretty good text encoding framework, so if it can't guess the encoding it must be a hard problem.
For reference, I'm using Project Gutenberg, which has approx 8,000 files- the books are text files mostly with 7-bit ASCII, some with 8-bit ASCII. I think the 8-bit ones are where the ISO encodings come into play.
There probably hundreds of files that have encodings other than the ISO-8859 that Rev supports. Of those maybe a few are Unicode already, but most are like this Polish file with various ISO-8859-x variants.
