Cygwin vi XML file encoding problem
Hi,

I have got a zip (binary) file transferred from MacOS (thus it has additional __MACOSX directory packed inside). On extracting this zip, there are few *.xml files available. When I opened this *.xml file in vim editor using Cygwin (on windows) the editor displayed [Incomplete last line][converted] in the bottom. I tried command file command on this xml file gave me the result "Big-endian UTF-16 Unicode character data".

After google search I came to know Mac's line terminator is carriage return '\r'. So windows needs '\r\n' (carriage return + line feed). So I manually added this \n using sed command
Code:
sed -i 's/$/\r\n/' test.xml

After that I am seeing the output as:

Code:
þÿ^@<^@?^@x^@m^@l^@ ^@v^@e^@r^@s^@i^@o^@n^@=^@"^@1^@.^@0^@"^@ ^@e^@n^@c^@o^@d^@i^@n^@g^@=^@"^@U^@T^@F^@-^@8^@"^@?^@>^@^M

How to make this file a valid XML document?

GOOGLE-SITEMAPGEN(1)					      General Commands Manual					      GOOGLE-SITEMAPGEN(1)

NAME

       google-sitemapgen -- simple script to automate production of sitemaps for a webserver

SYNOPSIS

       google-sitemapgen [--testing]  [--help]	[--config=config.xml]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the google-sitemapgen command.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       google-sitemapgen  is  a  program that automatically produces sitemaps for a webserver, in the Google Sitemap Protocol (GSP). Sitemap files
       are XML listings of content you make available on your web server. The files can be directly submitted to search engines as hints  for  the
       search  engine  web  crawlers as they index your web site. This can result in better coverage of your web content in search engine indices,
       and less of your bandwidth spent doing it.

OPTIONS

       --config=config.xml
		 Specify the location of the configuration config.xml

       --testing Used to test the sitemap generator configuration.

       --help	 Display a summary of options and exit.
