# Function: OpenRead(file)
# A text file can be encoded using:
# (1) The default operating system code page, Or
# (2) utf8 with a BOM header
#
# If a text file is encoded with utf8, and does not have a BOM header,
# the user can manually add a BOM header to the text file
# using a text editor such as notepad++, and rerun the python script,
# otherwise the file is read as a codepage file with the
# invalid codepage characters removed
