Comment #1 on issue 1665 by pekka.klarck: `Grep File` does not work with
UTF-16 since RF 2.8.2
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1665
This problem was caused by Grep File reading and encoding files
line-by-line and not by reading the whole file into memory (issue 1562).
The root cause is that UTF-16 can be either little or big endian, denoted
by a BOM starting the file, and decoding lines individually thus doesn't
work.
It seems that opening the file using codecs.open [1] fixes the problem.
Most likely it uses an incremental decoder internally. A problem with using
codecs.open is that it doesn't support automatic newline conversion, so we
need to add some extra code to handle that. Unfortunately io.open [2] that
handles both decoding and newlines is only available in Python 2.6 and
newer.
