我在Python中解析一個大的XML文件。大型XML文件的相關部分如下:使用iterparse時出現XMLSyntax錯誤

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.

GARDINER Smith College&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Fundamental questions are discussed systematically by Rehmke (18) in a second edition of a well-digested treatise, a characteristic feature of which is its attempt to relate feeling, emotion and mood.&#xD;&#xA;Feeling (Gefuhl) is defined as a Bestimmtheitsbesonderheit des zustdnd-&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;lichen Bewusstseins. 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模塊通過這個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與下面的跟蹤

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

一些重要的點 -

[1]它是強制性使用iterparse模塊,因爲XML大3GB(或更多)的大小。

[2]我只提供了引發語法錯誤的那部分XML文件。

我的問題如下:

[1]我可以自動修復此問題?如果是這樣,怎麼樣?

[2]我可以手動解決這個問題嗎?如果是這樣,怎麼樣?

[3]我可以忽略此問題並繼續解析我的大型XML文件嗎?如果是這樣,怎麼樣?

我已經看到了以下資源:

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?

,但沒有人能回答我的問題。

您的問題是,如果實際上是Windows CP-1252,則告訴解析器該XML爲UTF-8編碼。字符串

0x97 0x20 0x45 0x58 

是(時解釋爲CP-1252)

emdash space E X 

,如果你看一下文本違規線在給定的偏移,你的確會看到emdash。問題是0x97不是UTF-8編碼中的有效字符。

在Unicode中,emdash字符是&#x2014;,當UTF-8編碼被表示爲三個字節時:0xE2 0x80 0x94

解決方案是確保數據以UTF-8正確編碼,或更改標題以指示正確的編碼。

在ISO-8859-1中,0x97字節表示「保護區域結束」控制字符,而不是「EM DASH」。但在CP1252中,0x97確實是「EM DASH」。 – mzjn 2013-03-18 09:36:07

你說得對。實際上,根據[本頁](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-1),ISO-8859-1沒有定義範圍爲'0x7F-0x9F'的字符。 – 2013-03-18 22:15:43
