I would like to read a html file that has asian encoding (gb2312), then extract the specific strings and then copy them into a new html file. But when i try to read the html file, i get gibberish. Im using Python 2.4.3 and i know it supports gb2312 but couldnt get it to work.
Here's a snippet of the html file...
<!---->
<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd xhtml 1.0 transitional//en" "http://www.w3.org/tr/xhtml1/dtd/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=gb2312" />
<title>冰鱼BT发布页面</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
font-family: Tahoma, "宋体", Verdana;

}
