system error (-50) when trying to print text from textfile

[Mariannu]

I converted an .xml file into a .txt file using office 2007

When I try to print part of the text file, I get the following error after a "system error (-50)" note:

UnicodeError: ASCII decoding error: ordinal not in range(128)

This is the code I used:

f = file("D:\\test.txt","r")
x = f.readlines()
f.close()
y = x[2].split("\t")
print y[1].decode("utf-8")

I checked the file... there are no strange characters...
I also tried most of the options provided by Microsoft Office Excel 2007, including "Text (tab delimited)", "Unicode Text" and "Text (MS DOS)"!

It looks I have a problem with the emulator.. nothing related to the excel file!

I tried:

print u'3'

and i got the same error!!

Any ideas?!
