My understanding was that the OP does not (reliably) know the encoding, though that was a guess based on a turn of phrase. Another guess is that the OP does not have Unicode data. The term "code page" hints at an 8-bit encoding or at least a pre-Unicode one. <snip> -- Ben. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
