Hi, I need to read in a text file which seems to be stored in some unknown encoding. Opening and reading the files content returns:
>>> f.read() '\x00 \x00 \x00<\x00l\x00o\x00g\x00E\x00n\x00t\x00r\x00y\x00... Each character has a \x00 prepended to it. I suspect its some kind of unicode - how do I get rid of it? str.replace('\x00', '') "works" but is not really nice. I don't quite get the hang of str.encode /str.decode Any Ideas?
