Hi Philippe,

I know the iso-8859 is not a valid coding but this is the output of file
command.

this is the output i have when i try to convert my file

devil:~/tmp# iconv -l
The following list contain all the coded character sets known.  This does
not necessarily mean that all combinations of these names can be used for
the FROM and TO command line parameters.  One coded character set can be
listed with several different names (aliases).

devil:~/tmp# iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 source.CSV > dest.CSV
iconv: conversion from `iso-8859-1' is not supported
Try `iconv --help' or `iconv --usage' for more information.
devil:~/tmp# iconv -t utf-8 source.CSV > dest.CSV
