Hi all, I am not a expert programmer but I have to extract information from a large file. I used codecs.open(..) with UTF16 encoding to read this file. It could read all the lines in the file but returns with the non Ascii characters. Below are 5 sample lines. How do I avoid having this non Ascii items. Is there a better way to read this?
