I need your help please. We have a script that it is necessary to run in Linux server with python 3.8
I have problem when i try to run the script to search GZIP File
This is the function
def read_file(file):
GZIP_MAGIC_NUMBER = “0x1f8b” #may not work everytime, but .gz files should have those first 2 bytes…
f = open(file)
if f.read(2).encode( “utf-8”) == GZIP_MAGIC_NUMBER: #check if compressed
f.close()
f = gzip.GzipFile(file, “r”) #open compressed file
else:
f.close()
f = open(file, “r”) #open not compressed file
return f

And the error is the following:
$ python3 findHHIvan.py -s 86VRPQ2GD6EE6M0G2GLY0M -f message.log.2024-05-06_1128.2024-05-06_1131.gz -d /cxpslogs/powerBI/pruebasTransaction
searching in specified directories…
first search
file /cxpslogs/powerBI/pruebasTransaction/message.log.2024-05-06_1128.2024-05-06_1131.gz |
Traceback (most recent call last):

arch = read_file(file)
File “findHHIvan.py”, line 127, in read_file

(result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final)
UnicodeDecodeError: ‘utf-8’ codec can’t decode byte 0your textx8b in position 1: invalid start byte

I need to run the python script and the GZ file compressed can be open to work.

Thanks you
