For "find" 'ascii' unicodedecodeerror codec can't decode byte

Dear Ladies and Sirs,

I open a ascii-file with "open", which contains the character: "U+00E7" "ç" "c3 a7". This character is read in a line of the "FileContent"-table. Then I search with "find" the string "SearchString" in this line.

I receive the following error:

"UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe7 in position 29: ordinal not in range(128)"

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. (FileContent[Index].find(SearchString )<0)
  2.  
What does I have to do to remove this error?

Tia

Kind regards

Andreas Bittel
