Hi all,
I have a file with special characters such as
"£" etc. I need to read the file into a list as unicode
strings..
How can I do this.. I tried codecs
import
codecs
filename='d:/poll/test.XST' metaHash={} infile = codecs.open(filename, "r", encoding='utf-16') text = infile.read().split('\n') print text I am getting the error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "c:/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/python-1928Lij.py", line 9, in ? text = infile.read().split('\n') File "C:\Python23\lib\codecs.py", line 380, in read return self.reader.read(size) File "C:\Python23\lib\encodings\utf_16.py", line 48, in read raise UnicodeError,"UTF-16 stream does not start with BOM" UnicodeError: UTF-16 stream does not start with BOM also a sample file content will be
string MetaDataPrompt = "Discovery No"; string MetaDataFieldName = "Discovery No"; string MetaDataType = "string"; string MetaDataValue = "£500"; } 3{ string MetaDataPrompt = "comments"; string MetaDataFieldName = "Comments"; string MetaDataType = "string"; string MetaDataValue = "Energy Scope £500";
