[SOLVED}Re: Parsing a hrebrew website and storing the parsed (hebrew) in utf8 (not original encoding).

[Lior Kesos]

Thanks Viktorija (vika?) that provided half of the solution. The full one is - unicode(text,'cp1255').encode('utf-8') Because the text is encoded in cp1255 it first needs to get decoded by that and reencoded to utf8 regards Lior.

It there a way I can cast/transform encodings? You can use unicode command for this: string = unicode(string, 'utf-8') Regards, Viktorija -- Lior Kesos - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content Development Team Leader ============================== "Everything should be made as simple as possible - but not simpler" -- Albert Einstein
