我在Python中解析一个大的XML文件。大型XML文件的相关部分如下:使用iterparse时出现XMLSyntax错误

Each article's file contains a &quot;stub&quot; from the end of the previous article (at the beginning) and from the beginning of the next article (at the end). I need to remove these stubs in preparation for running a frequency analysis on the articles because the stubs are duplicate data. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I know I can use diff to output the differences between the files, ignore whitespace and treat the files as text, and then compare them manually, but this doesn't male much sense when dealing with this much data. Accuracy does not have to be 100%, so a script that compared each file to the next file and then removed 1 copy of the duplicate text would be perfect. This seems like it would be a pretty common issue when programming so I am surprised that I haven't been able to find anything that does this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The file names sort in order, so a script that compares each file to the next sequentially should work. E.G.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;bul_9_5_181.txt&#xD;&#xA;bul_9_5_186.txt&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;are two articles, one starting on page 181 and the other on page 186. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note: I am an academic doing content analysis of old journal articles for a project in the history of psychology. I am no programmer, but I do have 10+ years experience with linux and can usually figure things out as I go. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks for your help&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;b&gt;---example stub at beginning of file: everything before &quot;AFFECTIVE PHENOMENA — EXPERIMENTAL&quot; is duplicate from previous file----&lt;/b&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;SYN&amp;STHESIA&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;ISI&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;the majority of Portugese words signifying black objects or ideas relating to black.

Consciousness being conceived as the individual soul, its state is assumed to be at any given moment simple and unique; hence the momentary feeling is always one of pleasure or displeasure, never &quot;mixed.&quot; It is determined, not by any one, but by the totality of the objective factors, those being massgebend which are in the focus of attention. A &quot; feeling,&quot; in the ordinary sense, is a complex of the affective state and the &quot;determining&quot; and &quot;accompanying&quot; objective components, the &quot;determining&quot; objects of attention giving the kind of feeling, the &quot;accompanying&quot; organic sensations being mainly responsible for its obscure &quot;coloring&quot; and its degree. Mood (Stimmung) appears in a certain contrast to &quot;feeling&quot; in that in it organic sensation is the &quot;determining&quot; factor and no particular object occupies the focus of attention. Emotion {Affeki) is not contrasted with &quot;feeling,&quot; but is &quot;feeling&quot; characterized by the intensity of the &quot;accompanying&quot; organic sensations, which are rightly included in the emotion; we must not, however, confuse, with James and Lange, the bodily changes which give rise&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;b&gt;---end example---&lt;/b&gt;" />

我使用iterparse模块通过这个XML解析。

''' 
Function provides fast iteration of XML files via iterparse 
Source - Listing 5 at Source - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-hiperfparse/ 
''' 
def fast_iter(context, func): 
    try: 
     for event, elem in context: 
      func(elem) 

      elem.clear() 
      while elem.getprevious() is not None: 
       del elem.getparent()[0] 
     del context 
    except etree.XMLSyntaxError, e: 
     print e 

我收到以下的XMLSyntaxError与下面的跟踪

Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding ! 
Bytes: 0x97 0x20 0x45 0x58, line 3, column 1694 

一些重要的点 -

[1]它是强制性使用iterparse模块,因为XML大3GB(或更多)的大小。

[2]我只提供了引发语法错误的那部分XML文件。

我的问题如下:

[1]我可以自动修复此问题?如果是这样,怎么样?

[2]我可以手动解决这个问题吗?如果是这样,怎么样?

[3]我可以忽略此问题并继续解析我的大型XML文件吗?如果是这样,怎么样?

我已经看到了以下资源:

How should I deal with an XMLSyntaxError in Python's lxml while parsing a large XML file?

Ignore encoding errors in Python (iterparse)?

Is there a way to recover iterparse on invalid Char values?

,但没有人能回答我的问题。

您的问题是,如果实际上是Windows CP-1252,则告诉解析器该XML为UTF-8编码。字符串

0x97 0x20 0x45 0x58 

是(时解释为CP-1252)

emdash space E X 

,如果你看一下文本违规线在给定的偏移,你的确会看到emdash。问题是0x97不是UTF-8编码中的有效字符。

在Unicode中,emdash字符是&#x2014;,当UTF-8编码被表示为三个字节时:0xE2 0x80 0x94

解决方案是确保数据以UTF-8正确编码,或更改标题以指示正确的编码。

在ISO-8859-1中,0x97字节表示“保护区域结束”控制字符,而不是“EM DASH”。但在CP1252中,0x97确实是“EM DASH”。 – mzjn 2013-03-18 09:36:07

你说得对。实际上,根据[本页](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-1),ISO-8859-1没有定义范围为'0x7F-0x9F'的字符。 – 2013-03-18 22:15:43
