Convert multiple text files to UTF encoding

If you have multiple files and want to convert them all into UTF (without BOM), you can try this PowerShell script.

Get-ChildItem . -recurse -File -filter *.txt* | % {
        $MyFile = Get-Content -Raw $_.Fullname
        $MyPath = $_.Fullname
        [System.IO.File]::WriteAllLines($MyPath, $MyFile, [System.Text.UTF8Encoding]($False))
}

[System.IO.File]::WriteAllLines is used instead of the more commonly used Out-File because the latter outputs UTF8-BOM instead of plain UTF.
