<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">OK, your file is encoded in windows-1255.
What is the problem? Open it in Notepad and save it as UTF-8.
You will get a BOM at the beginning. If this is bad for you,
edit the file with any editor except Notepad and remove the first 3 bytes.<br>

<br><tt><font size=2>OK, I'm attaching an example file with a few lines
in hebrew (encode<br>
it in windows-1255 to read the hebrew). I checked now and I can<br>
convert the file to windows-1255 encoding, the problem was that it was<br>
already in utf-8 and that's why I couldn't convert it. but I still<br>
need to encode it in utf-8 with hebrew enabled, so I will be able to<br>
read the file with notepad and notepad++.<br>
