Ok, I am having some trouble handling unicode strings. Let's say that the file
example.txt contains the word
Ångström. When I put the
u in front of
'%s' I'll get the error below. Without the
u, the text will not show up properly.
-
import re
-
inputfile = file('C:/example.txt', 'r')
-
inputfile = inputfile.read()
-
patt = re.compile(r'(.*)')
-
m = patt.search(inputfile)
-
print u'%s' % m.group(1)
-
Traceback (most recent call last):
-
File "<pyshell#8>", line 1, in <module>
-
print u'%s' % m.group(1)
-
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe6 in position 2: ordinal not in range(128)
