Charset Auto Select

Simple extension to reopen files in the correct charset

(sad that I need to build this)

How it works:

The idea is to change de vscode settings file with the correct encoding, and then reopens de file with the charset output from

file -bi ${filename} | awk '{print toupper($0)}' | cut -d'=' -f2

How the logic works

Simple, if there is a known output, utf-8 or iso-8859-1 the extension changes the settings file with the matching output.

But,

IF it finds a ASCII/US-ACII charset (may happen due to creating on windows or ssh)

THEN it will check for a root project file .ci-charset-exclude IF this file exists, assume ALL FILES, EXCEPT BY ONES IN THE ci-charset-exclude FILE are iso-8859-1 ELSE it assumes that ALL PROJECT FILES are utf8
