text-files

Whenever I try to open a .csv file with the python command fread = open('input.csv', 'r') it always opens the file with spaces between every single character. I'm guessing it's something wrong with the text file because I can open other text files with the same command and they are loaded correctly. Does anyone know why a text file would load like this in python? Thanks. Update Ok, I got it with the help of Jarret Hardie's post this is the code that I used to convert the file to ascii fread = open('input.csv', 'rb').read() mytext = fread.decode('utf-16') mytext = mytext.encode('ascii', 'ignore

I've looked at this but it wasn't too much help. Maybe I didn't read it too well. Basically what I want is when I open a .txt file the settings: set wrap set linebreak are turned on. How might I go about doing that? Thanks in advance. Also, I'm using XP. My answer to that question still applies: Put autocmd commands based on the file suffix in your ~/.vimrc autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.txt set wrap linebreak As Luc says, you might prefer to autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.txt setlocal wrap linebreak if you're likely to open txt and non-txt files at the same time. Put this into ~/.vim/ftdetect

I have problem. I'm developing a project but I'm stuck in this part: I want to load a data from text file and store it into database access the things is the data inside each text file about 12.000 lines of data and each text file it takes about 10 minute to process it.. NOTE : before store the data, I separate each line of data from text file and put it into string then I check whether the data is already inside database or not. if inside the database I update it. If not then I use insert statement.. I'm using C# to develop this program? is there any fastest way to load and store this data?

I'm trying to check to see if a file exists, if so it does nothing. If the file does not exist is creates the text file. Then I want to write text to that file. Where am I going wrong with this code? I'm just trying to write multiple lines to the text file and that part is not working. It is creating the text file... just not writing to it. Dim file As System.IO.FileStream Try ' Indicate whether the text file exists If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists("c:\directory\textfile.txt") Then Return End If ' Try to create the text file with all the info in it file = System.IO.File.Create("c:
