Na the file is something i receive extenally and dropped into a specific lo=
cation from where the application reads..

it will be as starightforward as copying and pasting the content below onto=
 notepad =

------------------------
string MetaDataPrompt =3D "Discovery No";
string MetaDataFieldName =3D "Discovery No";
string MetaDataType =3D "string";
string MetaDataValue =3D "=A3500";
string MetaDataPrompt =3D "comments";
string MetaDataFieldName =3D "Comments";
string MetaDataType =3D "string";
string MetaDataValue =3D "Energy Scope =A3500";
-----------------------------------------------------

and try reading it from that file..

say I have a variable =


>>>c=3D'ENERGY SCOPE \xa3500'
>>>d=3Du'ENERGY SCOPE \xa3500'
>>>f=3Du'ENERGY SCOPE \xa3500'
is there any way i could make c to unicode type so that i could do somethin=
g like c=3D=3Dd
and doesn't raise an exception =


I know d=3D=3Df  works fine..


>>> c=3D=3Dd
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xa3 in position 13: or=
dinal not in range(128)
