Read hex characters and convert them to utf-8 with python 3
I have a data.txt file containing this line:
M\xc3\xbchle\x0astra\xc3\x9fe
Now the file needs to be read and the hexadecimal code is interpreted as utf-8.
So far this is my attempt:
#!/usr/bin/python3
import os
import sys
with open("data.txt") as f:
for line in f.readlines():
print( bytes(line, 'utf-8').decode("unicode_escape"))
The result converts to newline (\ x0a), but does not work with utf-8 multibyte characters:
