I have a file that has unicode escape sequences, i.e.,
J\u00e9r\u00f4me
and I want to replace all of them in a file and write the results to a new
file. The simple script I've created is copied below. However, I am getting
the following error:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position
947: ordinal not in range(128)
It appears that the data isn't being converted when writing to the file. Can
someone please help?
Thanks,
Jeremy
if __name__ == "__main__":
f = codecs.open(filename, 'r', 'unicode-escape')
lines = f.readlines()
line = ''.join(lines)
f.close()
utFound = re.sub('STRINGDECODE\((.+?)\)', r'\1', line)
print(utFound[:1000])
o = open('newDice.sql', 'w')
o.write(utFound.decode('utf-8'))
o.close()
