Well, here is another hickup. On the line that has the decode in it, I added decode(errors='replace') I read that this should replace the error with a question mark ?. However, it replaces the error with a ? inside a small box, a strange looking question mark. My plan was to replace the bad character, \xdf with a ? then use the find method to locate the ? and replace it using the replace method to a normal with a norrmal *. However, the find method does not find the ?in a box????
Tomorrow, I will try to merely find the " \xdf " and replace this small string with a *. However, as I recall the \ is an escape character so I guess I will have to look for something like \\xdf instead.
When I get this working, with your help of course, I will be a Python expert.
OH, from your previous Quote I think that this person said that a #: should proceed the command followed by a single #. If I read the quote correctly.
I have not encountered the degree symbol as yet but I am sure I will.
I emailed Meade about the bad * in the command responses. It will be interesting as to what they tell me, if anything.
