How to test characters of a string

Yes, it was probably just a typeo on my part.
I’ve now fixed the majority of cases but still got two strings that look identical but fail to match, this time (again by 10cc), “I’m Mandy Fly Me”.
I’m putting money on it being a utf8 problem but I’m stuck on how to handle it. It’s probably the single quote in I’m, although it has worked with other songs.
Any ideas?
All the Best
Cheers
Dave
Here is the whole function/method or whatever it’s called in Python:
################################################################################
#
# checkMusicFiles
#
################################################################################
def checkMusicFiles(theBaseMusicLibraryFolder):
myArtistDict = []
#
# Loop thru Artists Folder
#
myArtistsFoldlerList = getFolderList(theBaseMusicLibraryFolder)
myArtistCount = 0
for myArtistFolder in myArtistsFoldlerList:
print('Artist: ' + myArtistFolder)
#
# Loop thru Albums Folder
#
myAlbumList = getFolderList(theBaseMusicLibraryFolder + myArtistFolder)
for myAlbum in myAlbumList:
print('Album: ' + myAlbum)
#
# Loop thru Tracks (Files) Folder
#
myAlbumPath = theBaseMusicLibraryFolder + myArtistFolder + '/' + myAlbum + '/'
myFilesList = getFileList(myAlbumPath)
for myFile in myFilesList:
myFilePath = myAlbumPath + myFile
myID3 = eyed3.load(myFilePath)
if myID3 is None:
continue
myArtistName = myID3.tag.artist
if myArtistName is None:
continue
myAlbumName = myID3.tag.album
if myAlbumName is None:
continue
myTitleName = myID3.tag.title
if myTitleName is None:
continue
myCompareFileName = myFile[0:-4]
if myCompareFileName[0].isdigit() and myCompareFileName[1].isdigit():
myCompareFileName = myFile[3:-4]
if myCompareFileName != myTitleName:
myLength1 = len(myCompareFileName)
myLength2 = len(myTitleName)
print('File Name Mismatch - Artist: [' + myArtistName + '] Album: ['+ myAlbumName + '] Track: [' + myTitleName + '] File: [' + myCompareFileName + ']')
if (myLength1 == myLength2):
print('lengths match: ',myLength1)
else:
print('lengths mismatch: ',myLength1,' ',myLength2)
print(' ')
return myArtistsFoldlerList

I am getting a files ID3 tags using eyed3, this part seems to work and I get expected values in this case myTitleName (Track name) is set to “Deadlock Holiday” and myCompareFileName is set to “01 Deadlock Holiday” (File Name with the Track number prepended). The is digit test works and myCompareFileName is set to “Deadlock Holiday”, so they should match, right?
