I am a total newbie. I have a very large file > 4GB that I need to
convert from Unicode to plain text. I used to just use dos when the file
was < 4GB but it no longer seems to work. Can anyone point me to some
python code that might perform this function?
When you say "DOS" what exactly do you mean?
Are you really running an old DOS operating system or are you starting
a DOS box within a Windows variant? If the latter and you are using
COMMAND to start the session you will hit the 4GB limit but if you
use CMD (under Win 2000/XP/Vista) I think it should work as before.
(Although MS may have been too clever for you and updated the type
command to work with unicode!)
Worth a try...
