Dear community,
I have a form with an upload field that I use to upload a text file,
parse information from this file and store this information into the
database, but not the file itself.
The form is for example defined by:
form = FORM(INPUT(_name='file_field', _type = 'file', requires =
IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
INPUT(_type='submit'))
I can access the file content with request.vars.file_field.file.read()
but this function does not detect the file encoding and open all my
file as utf-8.
So instead I would like to use codecs.open(xxx, "r", charset) to
define the charset (utf-8, iso-8859-1, ...).
However, as I don't store the file, I can't find the file in the
uploads/ directory.
How can I find the temporary file path if there is any?
Or do you have any suggestion to read the uploaded file with the right
encoding (without chardet)?
Best regards,
$p00ky
