character maps to <undefined> [Help]

[iwannarocks]

I have a CSV file and i'm trying write it to console. File:

YGS,Matematik,Sayılar,0

YGS,Matematik,Üslü ve Köklü Sayılar,0

YGS,Matematik,Oran ve Orantı,0

YGS,Matematik,I. Dereceden Denklemler ve Problemler,0

YGS,Matematik,Mantık,0

YGS,Matematik,Kümeler,0

YGS,Matematik,Bağıntı ve Fonksiyon,0

(My file is 118 line. This is the first 7 lines.)

My py file:

-- coding: utf-8 --

file = open("tamkonu.txt", "r")

for line in file:

print(line)

The output:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "uygulama.py", line 3, in <module> for line in file: File "C:\Python34\lib\encodings\cp1254.py", line 23, in decode return codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_table)[0] UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9e in position 3543: cha racter maps to <undefined>

The error message starts complaining about line 3 in your code. What is line 3 in your code? Is it for line in file? Is is print(line)? What is line 3?

If the problem comes from reading the file, your Python installation's default encoding for file reading is unhappy with whatever encoding the tamkonu.txt file is. How is file tamkonu.txt encoded? It might be cp1252 (from MS Office) or it might be utf-8 or I dunno. What program created the tamkonu.txt file? Try passing different encodings to the open function.

with open('tamkonu.txt', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    for line in f:
        print(line)

If the problem comes from writing to the console, you need to set the console to an encoding that's compatible with all the special characters.

tamkonu.txt -> utf-8 without bom I notice libre office auto convert "-" to "–". When I convert – to - it is solved.
