Dear list
I have to read some data from an ASCII text file, filter it, and then
export it to a .dbf file. Basically a straight forward task...
My problem is that the input files contains some special national
(Danish) characters, and it appears that I have to do something special
to handle these in Python.
The Danish language contains three letters not in the English alphabet:
æ, ø and å.
E.g. the Danish city name 'SOLRØD' is red by Python as 'SOLR\xc3\x98D'
The three letters, in lower and upper case, seems to get translated as
follow:
æ = \xc3\xa6
ø = \xc3\xb8
å = \xc3\xa5
Æ = \xc3\x86
Ø = \xc3\x98
Å = \xc3\x85
Question:
What is this, how do I get my Danish letters back?
Best Regards
Martin
