Change file encoding in linux with iconv

Loop recursively through all files in a directory matching a pattern and then change their encoding with iconv.
 

#!/bin/bash

find /Path/To/Files -name \*.xxx -type f | \
(while read file; do
iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF8 "$file" > "${file%.xxx}-utf8.xxx";
done);
