Outputs files with ascii art in the intended form.

Files containing ascii art (e.g. with .nfo extension) are typically not correctly reproduced at the command line when using cat. With iconv one can easily write a wrapper to solve this: #!/bin/bash if [ -z "$@" ]; then echo "Usage: $(basename $0) file [file] ..." else iconv -f437 -tutf8 "$@"; fi exit 0
This is sample output - yours may be different.

Post to twitter via curl, Windows version

Aside from curl one will need iconv windows binary since windows lacks a native utf-8 cli interface. In my case I need a proxy in China and iconv to convert gbk status string into utf-8. GnuWin32 is a good choice with loads of coreutils natively ported to Windows "FOR /f" is the solution to pass iconv output to curl.

FOR /f %%g in ('echo %1 ^| iconv -f gbk -t utf-8') DO curl -x proxy:port -u user:pass -d status=%%g -d source="cURL" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml
