zip file encoding from SOEPindex shared via Owncloud not properly read by default on linux machine
Issue:
- I am trying to unzip the shared SOEPindex zip-file found on owncloud and, in my linux machine, the non-ASCII characters are probably encoded in a different encoding. This has the effect of breaking the HTML links within the page.
- I am using Ubuntu-based Pop!OS distribution.
Fix:
After trying a few usual encodings, IBM437
seems to work out. (The following command inflates the zipped file in the same directory that it is located.)
unzip -O IBM437 ./soepindex.zip -d ./
I hope this helps should anyone face the same issue. Since the issue is already solved on my part, feel free to close it, should it not affect any other users.
