ignoring chinese characters parsing xml file

Hi,
I am parsing an XML file that includes chineses characters, like ^
評評啖啖才是眞. 細氺長锍才是愛 or ヘアアイロン... The problem is that I get an error like:
UnicodeEncodeer ror:'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position....
The thing is that I would like to ignore it and parse all the characters
less these ones. So, could anyone help me? I suppose that I can catch an
exception that ignores it or maybe use any function that detects this
chinese characters and after that ignore them.

Thanks!!

You say you are *parsing* the file but this is an *encode* error. Parsing
means *decoding*.

You have to show some code and the actual traceback to get help. Crystal
balls are not that reliable. ;-)

Thanks Mark, the code is like this. The attrib name is the problem:

from lxml import etree

context = etree.iterparse ("file.xml")
for action, elem in context:
if elem.tag == "weblog":
print action, elem.tag , elem.attrib["name"],elem.attrib["url"],
The problem is the print statement. Looks like your terminal encoding (that
Python needs to encode the unicode string to) can't handle these unicode
characters.

I agree. For Japanese, you should know the exactly encoding name, and
convert them, just like:

print text.encoding(' encoding')

Hello all, I am having a few issues with encoding to chinese characters and perhaps someone might be able to assist. At the moment I am only able to see chinese characters when displayed as part of a datagrid. When an input textbox is displayed it does not display chinese characters, but rather the unicode characters stored in the mssql 2000 server backend.

I've an XML file in UTF-8. It contains some chinese characters ( both simplified chinese and traditional chinese). In loading the XML file with MSXML parser, I used the below code to retrieve the data in a node. The CString was then display in CListCtrl. For the traditional chinese characters, they were shown correctly, but for simplified characters, I encounted many "?", but some characters were correct.

Hello peeps, I am using PHP 5.2.2 together with MP3_Id (a PEAR module for reading and writing MP3 tags). I have been using PHP on the command line (Mac OS X Unix shell, to be precise), and am getting on more or less OK. So far, I have managed to parse my tab-delimited .txt file properly into an array, and then use this array to update the tags on a bunch of MP3 audio files. Nice.
