Hello,
I'm using ActiveStates Python 2.2.1 under win2000 to read in the
attached text file and it seems that python is only reading part of the
string. After
fp = open("bla.txt")
z = fp.read()
print len(z), z
I see that only 11 of the 15 characters have been read. I know they are
non-printable characters, but that shouldn't matter, should it ? Using
another python on one of our unix machines everything works as expected
and all 15 chars are read in. Is that there something special about
windows that I should know, or is this a bug in ActiveStates Python ?
Many thanks,
Axel Kowald
