This is my text file (sample.txt
).
É
Â
Ê
Î
Ç
Ô
È
Û
Ï
Ë
À
Ù
Ü
Now when I invoke python script to read the ord() values of those characters I always receive 195
. Why is that?
file = open("C:\sample.txt", "r")
for line in file:
print ord(line[0])
file.close()
ord() value of 195
is this character: Ã
and it is not present in any of the above-mentioned lines by me at all. I am expecting within an output of the following sequence for:
201, 194, 202, 206, 199, 212, 200, 219, 207, 203, 192, 217, 220.
You should switch to python 3; It fixes the problem:
file = open("sample.txt", "r")
for line in file:
print(ord(line[0]))
file.close()
This prints:
201
194
202
206
199
212
200
219
207
203
192
217
220
Just like expected.
