Text file read issues
#11
Hello again

So the system still isn't letting me post attachments but no matter, I've uploaded one of the offending .txt files to wetransfer if anyone would like to take a look.

https://we.tl/DWy3fBvra9

I'm still unable to get python to read it and return the lines as they are shown in notepad. Still gives me

Output:
b'\xff\xfe2\x005\x00 \x00A\x00u\x00g\x00u\x00s\x00t\x00 \x002\x000\x001\x007\x00 \x000\x009\x00:\x001\x005\x00:\x000\x000\x00\t\x002\x003\x00.\x001\x009\x00\n' b'\x00\n' b'\x002\x005\x00 \x00A\x00u\x00g\x00u\x00s\x00t\x00 \x002\x000\x001\x007\x00 \x000\x009\x00:\x000\x000\x00:\x000\x000\x00\t\x002\x002\x00.\x009\x008\x00\n' b'\x00\n' b'\x002\x005\x00 \x00A\x00u\x00g\x00u\x00s\x00t\x00 \x002\x000\x001\x007\x00 \x000\x008\x00:\x004\x005\x00:\x000\x000\x00\t\x002\x002\x00.\x007\x006\x00\n' b'\x00\n' b'\x002\x005\x00 \x00A\x00u\x00g\x00u\x00s\x00t\x00 \x002\x000\x001\x007\x00 \x000\x008\x00:\x003\x000\x00:\x000\x000\x00\t\x002\x002\x00.\x006\x002\x00\n' b'\x00\n' b'\x002\x005\x00 \x00A\x00u\x00g\x00u\x00s\x00t\x00 \x002\x000\x001\x007\x00 \x000\x008\x00:\x001\x005\x00:\x000\x000\x00\t\x002\x002\x00.\x004\x001\x00\n' b'\x00\n'
I'm still convinced this is all because it's in Unicode but I haven't a clue how to solve it.

If anyone can help i'd be very grateful.

EDIT: BTW, it's post #4 for a more detailed explanation of what I've tried and what is happening. Cheers
