This is probably an encoding issue, try
df = pd.read_csv("AVG.txt",encoding="utf-16")
You may also try using the basic open()
function and parse it later on
CodePudding user response:
The file is a .txt file. If you save it as a .csv should work fine (e.g. copy into Excel and use Save As). Just tried it and its worked.
