a part of my script will read line by line of a large text file (about 120 lines) and needs to pick out the title. This is done by selecting everything between the 2 quotes. it will work for most of the file, then it will not. its seems to be giving me Unicode
this is what i get:
here is my open statement
f = codecs.open(f_str, encoding='utf-8')
line
u'\u201cGlobalHUB: A Virtual Community For Global Engineering Education, Research, And Collaboration,"'
but when i print the line
print line
“GlobalHUB: A Virtual Community For Global Engineering Education, Research, And Collaboration,"
it shows up correct.
i am not sure what the problem is. I have tried encoding and decoding till the cows come home. I have tried using a simple open command, but then i was left with hex code (i think).
Any suggestion?
