um... >>> help(unicode) Help on class unicode in module __builtin__: [snip help stuff] | encode(...) | S.encode([encoding[,errors]]) -> string or unicode | | Encodes S using the codec registered for encoding. encoding defaults | to the default encoding. errors may be given to set a different error | handling scheme. Default is 'strict' meaning that encoding errors raise | a UnicodeEncodeError. Other possible values are 'ignore', 'replace' and | 'xmlcharrefreplace' as well as any other name registered with | codecs.register_error that can handle UnicodeEncodeErrors.
[snip rest of help] Denise, I dont know much about Unicode but it seems like f = file(filename, "r") text = f.readlines() text = text.encode() #or maybe just text.encode()? f.close() should encode the filetext to unicode. then you could do a f = file(filename, "w") f.writelines(text) f.close() sorry I don't know more about it but I hope that helps you. -Luke ----- Original Message ----- From: "D.
